My 6 year old had a possible allergic reaction to amoxicillin. We stopped giving her the medication after only 2 doses. However, 2 days after stopping the medication, her rash is not only not going away, it is intensifying and spreading. Is this normal? What should I do to help alleviate the rash and itching?

I have a prescription for amoxicillin 875 mg twice a day for uti.. It upsets my stomach a bit so I wondered if I can break them in half and take them 4 times a day. Maybe it will help with my stomach irritation. ## Hello, Sixcharm! How are you?

Hi, I was prescribed pink and blue 45A by my doctor and this is my third time using them and all three times they have tasted like vomit. Is anyone else having that problem, or just me? ## Hello, Madelyn! How are you? Most medications taste awful, unless they are specially formulation to have actual flavor, according to the FDA.
