Brief Answer:
Stop Paraxin

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Chloramphenicol (paraxin) is known to cause skin side effects. I suggest you to stop the medicine and approach your doctor for alternative antibiotic for your problem.

For the skin allergy I suggest no medication unless itchy. Just apply caladryl lotion and cold showers should be better. The skin reaction subsides on its own.

Let me know if you have any more queries regarding.

Regards
