Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy Rashes On Torso After Appendectomy
Age 51, 5'5" tall, 200 lbs. Female. Had unplanned laproscopic appendectomy last Wednesday. about 3 days ago i have a small red itchy rash all over my torso. Have not taken any meds for over 2 days but it is not going away or fading. Feel extremely tired but no fever. Am allergic to penicillin and sulfa type drugs. was on 3 meds after surgery they were Ciprofloxacin, Oxycodone, and Metronidazole. Took the antiobiotic for 5 days but not taking ANYTHING for last two days.
According to your complaints it seems to a drug rash. I would recommend you to apply calamine lotion on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 7-10 days. This will help in resolving your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
