Reaction to med: Stop taking the medication and call your doctor immediately or head to the emergency room, this reaction may progress to steven johnson syndrome if your skin start peeling. Don't dismiss your symptoms please.

Discontinue: Stop taking the medicine. It sounds like you may have an allergy to the medicine. If you continue taking the medicine, there is a chance that you can go into anaphylactic shock. If it is bad enough, death will soon follow. I'd call your doc and let him/her know. You may have allergy to sulfa drugs.
