Taking Medications For Strep Infection. Itchy Bumps Over The Body. Allergic Reaction?
Hello! I am 17 years old and recently was diagnosed with strep . I was given two shots and then two medicines to take for 10 days. On the 7th day(yesterday)I started feeling very itchy and I woke up this morning and noticed red small bumps all over my body. Is this an allergic reaction to the medicine or what? IF so,what can I do to alleviate/get over it soon?

watch for any aggravating symptoms and report immediately if any.
