Itching In Penis Followed By Swelling And Blisters After Taking Bactrim Post Surgery For Minor Cyst Removal. Counter Medication?

Hi I need help for more immediate cure. I have gone to the emergency room for a minor cyst removal and was prescribed Bactrim antibiotic to take 2 times a day. Immediately within minutes I started to itch in my penis. Today is the second day and I have developed swelling and blisters all around it. Please let me know what is the immediate solution or counter medication?

Hi, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
First of all, stop taking bactrim and consult the treating doctor to change the drug.
Beore that just take cetrizine or levocetrizine 5mg stat. It will counteract the allergy.
