Baby Allergic to Penicillin?

My baby's Dr. Prescribed him Omnicef. My baby is 15 months. old. He had reactions to the med. He had diarrhea and a painful looking rash in his genital area. He screamed when I cleaned him after every spout of diarrhea. Do you think he is allergic to Penicillin?

Is Omnicef a form a Penicillin

I was told by my son's Pediatirician that this was not penicillin (as he is allergic to PCN). Now after reading several discussions about this med, I'm worried. Please respond ASAP! Thank you, a concerned mother. ## If he is allergic to PCN he should not take this medication. It is a close cousin to the penicillin family and he will also be allergic to it. I am also allergic to amoxicillin (pcn sister) and I was given this medicine for a ear infection and started getting hives in my face n swelling eyelids and tingly mouth. I stopped the omnicef when symtoms developed. So pls dont give to your son.
