Does Z-Pak Cause Rashes On The Chest And Neck?

i had a case of bronchitis/sinusitis so I called Teledoc and they prescribed a Z pak. Prior to that I noticed a rash on my right foot and went to my local doctor. She thinks it might be related to my veins so I am scheduled for an ultrasound this coming Friday. In the meantime I am breaking out in more of the rash on my chest and neck. Could it be drug related? I have been on Diclofenek (sp?) more on than off since I had my left hip replaced in June.

Hello,

The symptoms seems like an allergic eruption.
As a first line management you can take antihistamines like pheneramine for symptomatic relief.If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
