Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It seems your roommate has developed allergic reaction to antibiotic Ciprofloxacin.
At this point of time, she can take Zyrtac and then see your doctor who can change your antibiotic to another group the Fluoroquinoles., as treatment of UTI is also required.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
