Suggest Treatment For Swollen Face/rashes On Back Other Than Taking Steroids
My mother had an allergic Reaction to Bactrim so now she has some swelling in her face, heat bumps and rashes on her back. I know a Corisone shot would help her with the swelling, but she cannot take a steriod because of the fear of it collapsing her lungs again. Other than Zyertec, is there anything else that can be done?

For allergic reaction to any drug first of all stop that drug and never give the same drug to your mother for life time. In addition you have to give your mother tab Avil three times daily after meals with tab ibuprofen thrice daily if burning or swelling is there. She can also use neomycin or clop-g cream for application. Don't give steroids to your mother.
