How Can A Rash On The Arms Post Antibiotic Intake Be Treated?
My daughter went to er October 8 for a bite , absess, inner thigh. They laced it then packed it with gauze. Gave her keflex, and Bactrim for antibiotics. Taken for 10 days. On October 18 she started to get a rash of some sort on arms then legs, next day spread to neck face and trunk. Is it from the antibiotics
As per your case history, your daughter is having exanthem. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, topical steroid cream given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
