What can i do if someone has an allergic reaction to medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop the medication: Unless the medication is essential to the treatment of a condition, you should talk to your doctor and find an appropriate substitute. For example, if you react to one type of blood pressure medication, you could be prescribed a medication from a different class to treat the same condition. In rare cases you could be admitted to the hospital and undergo desensitization if it was essential.
