Face, Neck And Chest Turned Red After Taking Ciprofloxacin For Lung Congestion. Is It Due To Side Effect?

I started taking ciprofloxacin hcl yesterday morning for lung congestion. Last night my face neck and chest turned bright red and continues to be. I thought it was from the cough medicine with codene they had given me as I had taken one t. an hour before this flare up. I have not taken any more cough medicine but continue to be very red. It this from the cipro?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have taken cough syrup, and ciprofloxacin, you stopped the cough medicine, but no relief, but continued the ciprofloxacin, and flare is continuing. So it must be the cause of the allergy.
I advise you to stop the cipro, and it is not cleared in a day, consult your doctor for treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms citrizine, and betamethasone.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
