We had to take Jakob to the urgent care clinic tonight. He developed a really bad rash, he looked kind of like a little dalmation and I gave him benadryl and the rash only seemed to get worse. Turns out he's allergic to Penicillin (sp) and he's been on the Amoxycillin (sp) which is a penicillin antibiotic, so he's having a bad reaction to it. We took these pictures to send to Jeremy's mom and see what she thought about the bumps, but he actually got a lot worse before she saw them and we just decided to take him to the doctor tonight. The doc said stop the Amoxycillin, and looked in Jake's ears and said they are all clear, so that's good news. The rash should go away in a day or two and he has to take the benadryl every 6 hours. I'm telling you what, this little fella sure can keep his mommy and daddy on their toes!!!

That is exactly what happened to me when I was a baby. I was given penicillin and then broke out in hives and to this day I have to always tell the Dr.'s that I have that allergy!
