My doctor prescribed me cefdinir 1tsp liquid 2x for 10 days. i have chronic hives and after taking this medicine i feel very itchy. what can i take?

Stop the cefdinir: and call your doctor, it may be just an adverse drug reaction or may be an allergic reaction to the drug, either way, you need to stop the medication first, call your doctor to report what you experienced, s/he would direct you for an alternative treatment and how to treat the reaction. Meanwhile you can try an OTC antihistamine, read the labels carefully, best wishes
