Recovering from allergic reaction to clindamycin. been off of it for 48 hours. can i have a few beers? or will alcohol make the rash worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy: Go easy on the liquor -alcohol and/or beer, and stop taking it for a few more days. If the allergic reaction is gone, go back to your drinks but, as always, don't overdo it.
