A member asked:
On which parts of body does delayed mild skin rash - reaction to antibiotics ( in this case quinolone) can spread? with what speed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug reaction: A reaction to an antibiotic, such as rash, may occur early on in the treatment course, but may also occur several days after completion of the antibiotic. Typically, these rashes are fairly diffuse over the body, progress over a day or two, then gradually subsides over several days. Some reactions may be quite severe and need medical attention.
