Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should Antibiotics Be Discontinued Due To Body Itching, Bitter Tongue, Tiredness, Nausea?
I had a high fever for about five days and the doctor gave me a couple of fever medicines and also antibiotics. The thing is, after I took those three medicines, my body felt really itchy and I stopped taking it the next time. I think it s the antibiotics because that s the only medicine that I never took before. It was really itchy and there are some rashes on my face. Even after stop eating it, my body felt itchy for two days and I can t even sleep. My fever was gone and I m just left with the bitter tongue, tiredness and nauseous sensation. But I don t know if I should stop taking the antibiotics since it needed to be completed. Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for writing into hcm. Looks like you had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. in such cases its better to take some antihistamine immediately (like cetrizine or chlorpheniramine). About the antibiotics it should be immediately stopped. consult your doctor for change of antibiotics and complete your course of medicine. Hope your query has been answered. Thank you.
