A member asked:
One week after i stooped taking antibiotic i got terrible rash and breathing difficulty. could the allergy have been from the antibiotic or sth else?

Possible: Since it often takes about 10 days to become allergic to a drug on the first encounter, it is theoretically possible for you to have become allergic to the drug from the last few doses. However the rash is not usually IgE mediated and thus unlikely to be causing your breathing problem. You need to contact your doctor ASAP.

Possible: I hope you are seeking help from your doctor or ER for the breathing problem This is a tough one to answer. While possible itsunlikely this long after but it may depend on the antibiotic and it's half life. For example Azithromycin.
