Could The Tamiflu Prescribed For Influenza And Antibiotics Given For Bronchitis Be The Reason For The Red, Itchy Rashes All Over The Body?

My husband was diagnosed with influenza on 1/2/14 and put on Tamiflu for 5 days. His last dose was on 1/7/14. He now has a red rash all over his body and is itchy. When will the rash go away. He developed the rash about a day or two after he got done with the tamiflu.
On Tuesday 1/7/14 he went back to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis and put on an antibiotic that he never had a reaction to. Could the two drugs have caused the rash?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I am sure that the rash your husband has got is not due the medicine but the allergic condition he has could be the reason for that, and this will go away soon if I would be his doctor then I would put your husband on long acting antihistamine and the best drug would be "Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day, this gives very good response, this will come around soon take care of your husband have good day.
