A member asked:
Did my antibiotics give me hives, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can vary: Allergic reactions from taking antibiotics can be an immediate event or can take days to develop. When they take a longer period of time, we call them "delayed hypersensitivity reactions". If there is a concern about an allergy to a medication, it is best to speak with the prescribing physician about what to do next. All the best!
