Amoxocillin Rash or Heat rash

My son has been taking amoxocillin since Monday for an ear infection (he has had this antibiotic before a few tines with no problems). Today he has developed a rash on both cheeks (See photo, probably looks redder irl). Does this look like a rash caused by amoxocillin or do you think it's just heat related. It's not bothering him or itchy. I did give him anti histamine early to see if it got rid of rash but it hasn't changed.

The photos aren't great OP, I'm not seeing a rash. If he's had the amoxicillin before then it's unlikely to be that. I wouldnt just give antihistamine as well or you're just overloading his system with things. Make sure he's drinking lots, keep him cool and monitor. Thats what i would do anyway. Check his temp as well for any fever.

How many days has he got of antibiotics? Is it a 5 day course or longer?
