My 4 year old daughter was on omnicef for two days for an ear infection. She is now covered from head to toe in a nasty red rash. The rash on her cheeks looks as though the bumps have all meshed into one huge red bump. Her entire cheeks are bright red. The dr said it was an allergic reaction to the meds and changed her to Septra. I don't want to start her new meds until the rash is gone but it isn't showing signs of improvement as of day 3. I am wondering if anyone could tell me how long the rash lasts? Should I start her new meds for the ear infection anyway? And she is sooooo moody. Her meltdowns are on a nuclear level which is out of character.

Severe reaction with use in sun...phototoxic burns almost as severe as Steven Johnsons synodrome,having residual skin effects.
Do NOT use the medicine and go into the sun,even on a total overcast day! Your skin will never be the same and you'll get skin cancers quickly after phototoxic burns!

Wish I had found this info last night.
Ive been on the medication for 8 days. All was well until yesterday afternoon when my face got beet red. I didn't think much of it since my face does flush at times.
Last night, it seemed to be traveling down my neck and shoulders.
When I woke this morning, red face was still there but now I had broken out is rashes all over my body. As of right now they are still there and starting to itch.
I was on this medication for ear infection and also for UTI.
Never would have thought with 1 pill left Id break out in a reaction like this.
Hope it goes away soon.
Benadryl isn't helping me much
I'll be sure to add this to my list of medications not to take.
