Steven-john syndrome: Steven-johnson syndrome could be a potential serious side effect. Go to national institute of health page and search for it. If the description and/or picture resemble sjs then see a doctor.

Call doc: It is best to stop medication if possible if there is an a allergic reaction. It is possible this is unrelated to plaque nil. Call prescribing physician and schedule a vist so tha you can be examined.
