Most antibiotics suggest that you stay out of the sun while you are taking the drug. The rash is kind of like sun poisoning--try taking Benedryl to reduce the itching. A washcloth soaked in cold low fat milk will help relieve the rash also.

Only you and your child's pediatrician can decide that. However, Lamictal does have a particularly dangerous,but *rare* side effect of a sever and sometimes fatal rash.

Good luck.
