I recently had surgery on my left wrist to remove a ganglion, im allergic to penicillin, so the doctor gave me coxlean, its been 8days since my surgery and im not sure whether its a reaction or a heat rash. what should i do?

Basics: Any significant/worrisome allergy to this or any other antibiotic would produce obvious symptoms within hours if not sooner. A minor rash has little significance. If concerned you can have it looked at since it is likely unrelated & could be triggered by any one of a number of issues.
