Rash due to Antibiotics
My grandmother has a rash that we think is associated to an antibiotic she was on that she stopped taking two days ago due to a bacterial infection. Is there any type of cream that anyone knows about that we could use over the counter? Thank you all for your help.

Granny, I think you mean antihistimine, like benadryl.
Just remember, folks, anytime you get a rash from an antibiotic, stop taking it IMMEDIATELY and call your doctor or pharmacist. To keep taking it could be life threatening.It's not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.Comment

Re: Rash due to Antibiotics
I had a bad rash around my stomach and found it was because of high Phorous and not antibotics. It was terrible. I tryed all kinds of cream and nothing helped.Comment

Re: Rash due to Antibiotics
Never mind the creams, listen to Missedtheboat- stop taking them!! I broke out in a rash too and it turns out I"m allergic to penecilin. There are other types of antibiotics they could give you. Call the doctor or pharmacy.Lupus 1976
