Hi,
The allergic reaction to cefdinir has caused the rashes and it has to be treated with antihistamines. Since it has involved the whole body, steroids will also be prescribed. Kindly visit your physician immediately in case of breathing difficulty or throat pain since it may be a severe anaphylactic reaction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
