Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction due to the medication you have taken.

Aquaphor can help to soothe and restore the skin.

I also recommend to use an antihistamine daily such as Levocetirizine 10 mg.

I also suggest to use cold compresses for 15 minutes three or four times a day for local application.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
