Brief Answer:

Tendinitis

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It seems that you are suffering from Cipro induced tendinitis which should be treated with anti-inflammatory as Ibuprofen tablets 200 mg every eight hours or Diclofenac tablets once daily.

If still no improvement then you should refer to your doctor for a prescription for a pack of corticosteroids.

As for the rash then you should take an antihistaminic as Cetirizine once daily before going to bed for the time being.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
