I got a rash on day 10 of Mepron/Zith. Was wondering how you can tell if it's an allergic reaction or from toxins of dying babs?

Day 10 -- the magic day. Hubby got a few hives that day and by day 11 or 12 his whole body was red (looked like a really bad sunburn) and swollen (gained 10 pounds fluid weight).
PCP said allergic reaction -- LLMD did not see rash but was never 100% sure if it was actually an allergy or just a really bad herx.
If the rash gets worse go see your PCP or at least call your LLMD.
Hubby ached all over from the first dose of this med way before the rash developed.

Hi Bea, The rash seems to be disappearing...still remnants left. So I'm still not sure if it's the medicine or herx...any ideas?

My son got a rash from Mepron around day 10. He took Benadryl for the rash. He was covered. This sometimes happens with Mepron. It only happened once for about 4 days and never returned.
