What Causes Skin Rashes While On Clarithromycin?
My 16-year-old daughter is taking Clarithromycin for a sinus infection and after 3 doses she is experiencing skin bumps and rashes on her legs and back. Can she take Benedryl to assist and are there any adverse interactions between the two medications?
