What Causes Itchy And Painful Rashes On The Body While On Steroid Shots?

Hi, i recently had an injury on september 13th. A nose fracture, my second one. Im 34 yrs old, my first one happened at only 18 years old. I also had a blow to my head. The left side to be exact. And due to those injuries suffered. I went to the er, where i was given an injection of steroids. Ever since then i developed a severe rash, very itchy and very painful to urinate. Not to mention unable to have intercourse. Please help, could it be an allergic reaction to the injection? Im currently on antibiotic for my nose fracture. Or could it be something else? Im getting really worried.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms are probably related to an allergic reaction. In my opinion, the reaction can be due to the use of antibiotics.

Steroid shot cause reaction very rarely. I suggest stopping the use of antibiotics.

I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg to treat the reaction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
