Yes. You must consult your physician before you take any more amoxicillin, then do as he/she advises.
Even though your allergic reaction may seem mild right now, it can suddenly become anaphylactic, which includes swelling of your respiratory passages so that you cannot breathe.
If you suspect you are allergic to penicillin, you may want to speak to your physician about wearing a Medic Alert tag or bracelet so that if you are found unresponsive, the healthcare personnel will be aware that you have an allergy.

A rash can definately be an allergy symptom. I didn't think fever was a symptom, so I did a search and found that with a fever can be a slightly different type. See:
A less common type of allergic reaction is called serum sickness. This can occur days or even a week after starting a medication, even if you have never been exposed to the medication before. The symptoms of serum sickness include skin rashes, hives, fever and joint pain.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness;
urinating less than usual or not at all;
agitation, confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior; or
seizure (black-out or convulsions).
Less serious side effects are more likely to occur, such as:
nausea, vomiting, stomach pain;
vaginal itching or discharge;
headache;
swollen, black, or "hairy" tongue; or
thrush (white patches or inside your mouth or throat).
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
