How Long Do Rashes, Developed Due To Cefdinir Intake, Take To Heal?

My son was on Cefdinir for an ear infection. He was on it for 7 days when he started breaking out in a rash. We took him to his pediatrician, he stopped the Cefdinir on Thursday but his rash was really bad today. He goes to an allergist on Wednesday. The benadryl does not seem to be helping that much. How long do you think before the Cefdinir will be out of his system and the hives/rash will calm down? Thank you!

Hello,

It is a kind of allergic eruption and will settle in a couple of days.

You can continue Benedryl now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
