My son is 9 months old has a double ear infection tonsillitis an has been feverish had him straight at the dr wednesday since he has a condition where he lacks a blood cell that fights infection he was given antibiotics straight away he's still unwell temperature under control with calpol and is eating and drinking reasonably well but im a little worried about the rash thats come up this afternoon, its just blotchy red not raging just there and doesn't go away with glass I was gonna take him to a&e but then he ate a roast dinner and has been playing all afternoon. He also has a milk protein/lactose intolerence and was wondering if the bannana flavoured liquid ammoxcillin might have lactose or something init? No ingredients written on bottle. Any ideas would you take him to a & e when acting so well? Any ideas much appreciated

If you don't trust the GP and your little one has already been seriously ill then it's straight to A&E.

Just go to A&E, it does not matter if he picks up there or is all fine - they would rather see you & your LO - your post gives enough red flags just to take him down there.
