Bad Rashes- Antibiotics

Guest
My son , aged three, has been getting nasty, red rashes that usually coordinate with some period of oral antibiotic. They are nasty, red, raised and sometimes itchy that are on his stomah, legs and arms. He has been skin and oral challenged for a penicillen allergy but was negative. He started Cipro on Thursday and has a rash today.

He has been on IVs twice and has never shown a reaction. He seems to have such a hard time with the orals. Any suggestions? Is there maybe a preservative in the oral and not the IVs. I'm at my wits end. Should I still give him his dose of Cipro tonight? I'll call CF doc tomorrow.

Hey Megan, I am allergic to Bactrim, oral, i get something called a fixed drug eruption. its one spot that gets really red,raised, the whites of my eyes get red. Also allergic to zosyn (IV) and avalox (IV).. itchy rashes and red eyes for both.. We were also thinking that the preservative might have had something to do w/ it, cause i can take the oral form of avalox.. Hope you figure it out .. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni

Thanks Joni. I will mention fixed drug eruption to my doc. I am desperate to figure this out. It is harmful other than it looks nasty and itches?

Does benedryl help at all?

Yes, it can certainly be a preservative or additive that he is allergic to. It's also possible that he developed an allergy since he was tested. (I took bactrim for 20 years then one night in the hospital I suddenly became allergic to it... 75mg of Benedryl later, I was STILL ITCHY >_>)

Hope you figure it out, being itchy makes you pretty miserable. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
