Rashes On Hands Torso. Swollen Lips Hands Prescribed Prednisone. Could This Be An Allergic Reaction To Cefdinir?
I have a rash on hands inside and out. Rash on my torso. Swelling of hands and lips. When my hands swell the veins bulge and hurt. I can breathe freely no swelling in the throat. This has been on going since 11/11/13. The walk in clinic Dr. presribed Prednisone. Does not seem to help. Could this just be an allergic reaction to Cedinifir? I had just finished a two week treatment. No prior allergic reaction to any drugs.

Hi
It could be a urticaria, allergic reaction to cefdinir. You should take a antihistamine drug like cetrizine 10mg once daily also for 5 days. prednisolone also you can continue for 5 or 7 days.Use calamine lotion for body.It will give you soothing effect.Hope this may help you.
Thanks
