Recurring Bacterial Infections, Elevated WBC, Abnormal ESR Tests, Have Swelling And Itching On Taking Anti-bacterial Medicines. Suggestive Treatment?
my sister who lives in Kenya is allergic to a long list of antibiotics which makes it very difficult to treat bacterial infections that she occasionally has. Her body swells and itches whenever the is treated for a bacterial infection and has to go back to the hospital to treat the allergic reaction/side effect. What could be causing this? We as a family are at wits end because this has been ongoing for more than 10 years and doctors there have no idea why her WBC count are high and ESR test are abnormal. Please advise

get blood serum test for specific antibodies of each grup of medicines
you will have list of allerggic and non allergy drugs
so that you can take med according to tests
the recurance of infection means allergy to foods and clothes
you have to clear diagnosis with tests before we proceed further
