Dye-free Amoxy
Can someone please help me find an 500mg amoxicillin that does not have blue or green dye in the capsule? I would also prefer any amoxicillin capsule that is not red or pink or yellow. I have problems with dyes. It was suggested to me that I call Poison Control and they told me that Duramed makes an amoxicillin that is clear and buff in color - this would be acceptable although, no dye is preferred. Can you get me 500 mg amoxicillin that has no dye or is clear and buff in color? I have a refillable Rx for 200 capsules. Thank you, *S*

Allergy
My almost 10 month old was on amoxicillin for 6 days and began to develop an allergic reaction - bad diarrhea and a red rash on her cheeks; I stopped giving it to her-her last dose was 2 days ago and she still has the diarrhea and rash-how long before it goes away? My doctor prescribed her a different antibiotic but we have not started it yet, I'm almost afraid to.

Amoxicillin Otoxicity
My dermatologist currently has me taking 500mg capsules of Amoxicillin twice daily as part of my acne treatment. I have been on it for about a year. We've tried other medications before this but i've always had problems with side effects. I've read that some antibiotics and medications can be harmful to the ears (otoxic). Can long-term Amoxicillin use be otoxic or harmful to my ears in any way.

Allergy?
Our grandson has been on amoxicillen since Wednesday afternoon for a sore throat. His fever is still 100º and his throat is still sore and swollen. I think he should be feeling better by now. The step test was negative. His Dr is not open on Saturdays. Should we discontinue the Amoxicillin on the possibility that he is allergic to it? His Dad (our son) and our other two children were allergic to penicillin drugs.
