Brief Answer:
Arthritic spine. Drug reaction can cause the rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for the query
The back pain could be due to ageing arthritic spine. Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. You can take Acetaminophen/Paracetamol 500mg twice a day for the pain.
The rash could be an allergic effect of the antibiotic. You need to inform your Doctor of this possibility. You may need to stop taking it and change to another antibiotic as advised by your Doctor.
Keep well hydrated. Watch out for fever.
I hope I have answered your query.
