Suggest Treatment For Itching And Rashes After Using Ornidazole

I had watery stool and when consulted the doc prescribed me Ornidazole. With just two course of tablets (one each morning and night), I developed severe rashes all over the body, elevated temp around the rash areas and itching for the past two days. Another doc prescribed me to take Allegra 180 mg for 5 days or until SOS which I am doing now. Allegra seem to keep the allergy under control for about 10 hours, but again the rashes appear at the end of 10 hours which coincides with the next course of tablet. I have to travel in a day and I am wondering any other medicine could be useful for fixing this problem.

Hello.If rash has not improved with the intake of Fexofenadine, it is recommended to take a corticosteroid by mouth,for example Prednisone 30 mg per day.
Please consult your doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
