Had Bronchitis. On Steroids, Antibiotics, And Codeine Cough Medicine. Small Bumps Raising Near Hairline. Cause And Treatment?

I recently went to the doctors two weeks ago for bronchitis- I was prescribed steroids and antibiotics. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was then switched to another antibiotic which also did not sit well with me. I returned to the doctor again- I was then prescribed codeine cough medicine for my cough and told that I did not have to continue to take the antibiotics. I was extremely fatigued during all of this so my doctor had me go do blood tests to insure that everything was okay. When I went in for the follow up appointment I noticed that I have small bumps near my hairline on my scalp and near my ears. I was then prescribed more steroids to take care of that problem. I am now done the steroids and the bumps are still there. What should I do? please help!

Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
steroids are to be tapered off slowly
and you are having allergies to medicines and if exposed to thing to which you are allergic after wathdrawl it takes 3 week to go away with edicine
so no need of any antibiotics use only anti allergics
like allegra 120 mg bd
syp codeine can still be taken as it acts as antiallergic and can decrease the troble
can locally apply diprovate ointment in affected skin and calamine lotion
