Do I really need to call the hospital for a skin rash after taking medication?

I'm taking amoxicillin and tramadol for a mouth infection, and woke this morning with a rash all over my face. Some websites say that I should call the doctor immediately if a skin rash appears, but it's Saturday and it seems a bit extreme to go to the emergency ward at hospital with a painless skin rash. Should I just wait until Monday and see what happens?|||Have you called your Dr.? Someone is always on call. He could tell you if they think you should go to the hospital based on your history. Are you having other symtoms? be sure to tell your Dr.anything else happening (shortness of breath etc.)|||Just discontinue the medication, take benedryl if necessary. As long as you are breathing normally it's not too much of an emergency. But, go see your M.D. on Monday for a new RX.|||if you have an after hours clinic I would go there... or call your doctor, I am sure they've got a pager or someone on call for them to answer questions... but don't leave it. you may be allergic so stop the meds for now until you find out what to do|||yes you need to go and see a doctor asap...you don't know where else this could spread to and to be on the safe side get it checked out.|||Call your prescribing physician. Once you start to develop an allergic reaction to a particular med, there is a possibility that it can become worse and eventually lead to anaphylaxis, which is a life threatening reaction. You're doctor can choose different antibiotics for you to take for your infection.|||It sounds like you are having a reaction to the medication. You should call the doctor or hospital you got them from and ask for something different. Some reactions can be real bad or fatal. I'm not trying to scare you, but, this is nothing to play around with.|||I would try to go to the doctor's office, just to be sure. It could be nothing, but there's always a small chance that it's way more than that.
