My son has a rash on his body after 7 days of taking amoxicillin for streptococcus. Can he continue to finish the treatment and take Benadryl as well?

Yes, it is recommended to continue the antibiotic treatment for streptococcus despite the rash on the body, as long as your child is not complaining about it and it is not getting worse. You can also give Benadryl to help with the reaction, following the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the rash worsens in the next day or two, it is advisable to stop the antibiotic and consult a doctor.
