How long does it take to recover from a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on the reaction, which can range from some rash to full anaphylactic shock to other complications, first step is to stop the medicine, at times it might take weeks for the rash to go away with certain antibiotics, just keep away from direct sunlight as much as you can while you have the rash, follow up with your pcp/allergist, goodluck
