Brief Answer:
Kindly stop taking the medication

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Thanks for posting your concern on HCM.

I would like to know the purpose of taking Taxim-O antibiotic?

Since you have developed an allergic reaction to antibiotic Taxim-O (Cefixime), I would advise you to stop taking the medication & consult your treating doctor to prescribe an alternative antibiotic like Amoxicillin for the eradication of the infection. An alternate is necessary as you have to complete a prescribed course of antibiotic.

Hope this answers your query. However I shall attend to any follow up query if you have.
Best regards.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
