Burned Skin,itching Sensation.Took Clindamycin,benadryl.Taking Methylprednisolone.Any Suggestion?

Good afternoon Dr. I recently had a tooth removed, placed two implants and deep cleanning with IV sedation. Two weeks after I went back to the Dr. he prescribed Clindamycin 33mg to take 4 daily because the gooms were not looking heald. I only took one pill at 7:00 PM and during the night I felt I was burning. Well oin the morning I had all my skin burned and a fever way over the normal. I called the doctor and he said to take Benadryl every 6 hours. If no change during the afternoon he would prescribe another medicine. No changes so He prescribe methylpred 4 mg pak. I am still with my skin burned, icthing a lot and want to know is this is normal and what else can I do to avoid my skin getting more affected. Please help.

Hello and welcome.

As per the history posted by you here I can say that please meet your skin specialist and get immediate help regarding the skin reaction. It appears to be a side effect of drug but be sure you will be fine.

Remember your doctor has prescribed you this drug because the benefits are more than its side effects .few patients do face such problems,but do not worry and seek dermatologists help.

Anyways do not worry,just speak to your dentist about alternative drug.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
