A member asked:

Rash after surgery had tennis elbow surgery 5 days ago what can it be?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

?? Medications: We need to know if you we're given any medications after surgery , specially pain medications with codeine, you may be having an allergic reaction. Stop the medication and try to take an antihistamine for few days , if still persist or gets worse see your doctor.
