They all have a beta-lactam ring. This is important, because the enzyme beta-lactamase cleaves this ring, causing the anti-biotic to lose its effect.

He might be allergic to penicillin and all derivatives of penicillin (and of the "cillins."). It's best to check with your pediatrician however. I can't take penicillin. I break out in the same red bumps. Don't worry though. Penicillin allergy is probably the most common kind. And there are plenty of other antibiotic-type medicines out there!
