A 12-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his mother for a rash. The patient had a sore throat a few days ago with symptoms initially well-controlled with lozenges. However, today he had a rash covering his body, which prompted his presentation. The mother states that she did smear an herbal remedy on the rash with no alleviation in symptoms and also gave him a single dose of amoxicillin left over from a previous infection.
