Hi
Yes Amoxicillin does cause rashes as side effect in some individuals but not in all. If you have noticed than can discontinue the medication. You better consult the specialist online to reconfirm and change of antibiotics will be needed. Start with warm saline gargling the rashes will subside slowly once you discontinue. Don't take too many medication without prescription by a doctor.
