Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that Your husband suffered from acute drug reaction which manifested as allergic rashes.
Stop the antibiotics. Allegra or any Levocetirizine tablet would be useful. local application of Fluticasone can also heal rashes at the local sites.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
