Patient: Just got back from the doctors and my 15 month old has strep. Just started her on the antibiotics and baby motrim. Her hands, arms and then face turned blue for a couple minutes then went away then came back slighty and went away. Is this chills from the fever or a reaction to the antibiotics?
