Allergic! UGH!

So I've been on med's for my sinus infection for a week now and just last night and into this morning my skin has been itching like crazy.  I already mentioned having insomnia and now I'm breaking out in a rash.  I called the doctors and said I'm stopping the meds (I think I have 2 more days worth) and the doctor called me back and left a message saying to stop meds and take benedryl.  Apparently she didn't read my chart very well because I'm allergic to that as well.  Guess I'll just have to hope the rash and inching goes away soon.

Oh to have a snow day tomorrow!

  • = ( so sorry to hear that! If it helps Im in my last year of pharmacy school so the "pharmacists recommendation" in me would be to try hydrocortisone cream to temporarily relieve itching and either claritin or zyrtec tablets to help stop it. If your not into taking a lot of drugs, and oatmeal bath may help as well. Good luck and feel better!!  
  • Thanks for the advice.  The nurse called back to tell me not to take benedryl and now I'm on hold because she said I should call her back to discuss other options.  She said to put a cream on it as well.  She's looking into changing my meds to possibly cipro.  I know I've taken that before.  I'm just allergic to so many meds it's not funny!  The oatmeal bath might be nice tonight!  I think I need it.
