Hives: Most probably not related to the antibiotic, however note that you had a reaction towards the end of treatment next time a doctor prescribes an antibiotic of the same kind, you want to take the first dose in the doctor's office or in hospital waiting area, wait for an hour, if no reaction, continue,as for the hives, just take an antihistaminic for now, if no improvement see an allergist or dermato
