Can Zn20 And Oflomac-M Cause Whole Body Skin Allergies?

Hi , My son (Age 9+ yrs) had green color loose motions for which doctor gave him Zn20 suspension (10 ml two times daily) and Oflomac-M Forte (10 ml twice daily). His diarrhea got healed, but acute allergies found in his whole body skin. Is that the side effects for these two medicines? Please suggest.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
As per your description it seems child had intestinal infection most probably amoebic one. These are the preferred medicines for the condition.
Probability of Zn causing allergy is very less,
though Ofloxacin and Metronidazole may cause allergies.
On the other hand these rashes may be something else altogether and not allergy to medicine.
Consult your doctor regarding this as he will be able to decide by actually seeing the rash and the condition of the child.
If it turns out to be allergy to medication then for future you will need to tell any doctor he ever visits regarding allergy to specific medicines so that these medicines, if he is allergic to, shall not be prescribed to him again.
