What Medicine Is Best For Itchy Red And Distended Rash Due To Insect Bite ?
Thanks for the query
If you are allergic to Amoxycillin, you can try higher group of antibiotics such as Cephalosporins. The antibiotic you are already taking is Cephalexin, which belongs to Cephalosporin group of drugs. But, if you have discontinued then there are chances of you developing resistance to that drug. There are only couple of antibiotics which can be taken for 3-5 days and for rest of the antibiotics the course is always for 7-12days.
I can understand that, any antibiotics you take, headache is for sure. But in that case, doctors will have limited options in treating you unless you do not have any other side effects.
Hence, I would suggest you to reconsider the antibiotic course after discussing with your doctor. Also, taken an antihistaminic (meant for allergy) to reduce the itching. You can try applying a local antibiotic application over the infected site, which will help in healing faster.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any more doubts please feel free to contact.
