How can i prevent an antibiotics rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Delayed reaction: Rashes from antibiotics are typically delayed reactions. Your doctor may give you another class of antibiotics to avoid such reactions. But if it is necessary to receive an antibiotic from a class you reacted to in the past, your doctor can premedicate you with oral antihistamines and steroids if necessary, these are things you need to discuss with them.
