Itchy Hives Appearing As Rashes, Allergic Reaction To Macrobid. Should I See An Allergist?
Help! I am dealing with an allergic reaction which I got on the 9th day of taking this drug. I have been macrobid free for a week now and am still dealing with itchy hives which come and go as they please... It is in streaks...I guess I should go to an allergist next a dermatologist??? I already had blood work and urine work done and I am healthy!!!

It's very rare to see allergic reaction for a drug after 8-9 days of intake. I mean to say it may not be allergic to that drug. Dermatologist is the better option. See whether they subside with antihistaminics...
