Dear Concerned.,

Thanks for writing to us.

In your history you have not mentioned your treatment ?Have you been on some prescription antibiotics?

There are medicines of Imidazole group such as Metronidazole//anti diarhhoea drugs such as Furazolidone//antifungals such as Griseofulvins//Disulfiram-also called antabuse ,the residues of all these interact with alcohol to produce Cutaneous rashes as well as systemic reactions.

Have you ever undergone any detoxification therapy?

Pls drink lots of water and the immunocomplexes will get washed away.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Best regards.,

Dr Lt Cdr ASN Bhushan.
