Is he having any rash on his body?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I will like to know if he has any rash on his body. Also, has he been taking SMZ-TMP before? This because we may be dealing with an allergic reaction and there is need to stop this drug.

My plan is to stop this drug, consult his doctor and review for allergic reaction.

I hope this guides and I hope to hear back from you!
