A member asked:
I had an allergic reaction to antibiotics almost a week ago, my face is still swollen! should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but keep caution: since you stopped the antibiotic, it should clear from your system, some antibiotics take longer to clear, depends too if you're on other meds, you might want to take an antihistaminic on regular basis, hopefully you don't have horseness or shortness of breath, if so, please see your doctor, goodluck
