Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash After Taking Oxycodone
Hi, My daughter, who is 30, had gallbladder surgery Friday morning. She was prescribed oxycodone for pain. Saturday morning she began itching and broke out in a rash so we called the pharmacy which recommended she stopped taking the oxy and start taking Benadryl. She has not had an oxy since 7 am yesterday. Her vision has become so blurry she is having to wear my reading glasses to read which is not normal for her. She is taking 800 milligrams of ibprophen every 6 hours. Any ideas on what could cause the vision problem.
