ABSTRACT

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal antibiotic, which belongs to the group of β-lactam antibiotics. These β-lactam groups of antibiotics are commonly used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. A 4 years male child brought by his mother who is reliable information with chief complaints of Fever since 1 week, Cold & Cough since 10 days, and Loss of appetite. Based on the complaints and past medical condition for evaluation was done. With the above performed appropriate lab data condition was final confirmed as viral fever. Augmentin does not have efficient effect on virus. [AUGMENTIN will not work against infections caused by viruses such as colds or the flu]. Hence, this is not much preferable in viral fevers. In routine clinical practice, physicians have a tendency to prescribe antibiotics to patients presenting with fever, cold and sore throat without exploring the underlying aetiology. The current cas report calls for judicious use of antibiotics in setting of suspected viral infections. This may have tendency to develop adverse drug reactions (ADRs) like, Maculopapular rash.

Keywords: Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Maculopapular rash, viral infections.
