What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Body While On Flagyl And Bactrim?

I am on Flagyl and Bactrim for a diverticulitis attack, and yesterday had an allergic reaction and this morning woke up itching and covered with hives, I had a Steroid shot at Urgent care yesterday, then bought some benadryl, I took 2 as the rash is horrid and I am almost covered. I have not taken any of the meds since yesterday as advised by Urgent Care Doc. Should I go back to the ER or Urgent Care?

Hello,

The most possible culprit for itchy rashes sound to be Bactrim consumption.
You must stop further doses of Bactrim and consult your doc for the replacement of the same.

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