What Are The Side Effects Of Claritin-D And Mucinex?
I am started taking cefdinir 300mg 2x today as prescribed by my doctor for a possible sinus infection. The last 2 days prior to this I have taken Claritin-d and mucinex thinking I had a cold. I awoke this evening sweating with redness on bottom of my hands and mild minor joint aches. I drank a lot of water and can t seem to sleep and am scared I had a reaction. The my skin looks normal now but I am scared. I usually do not take any medicine at all. I am a healthy 48 year old male. Should I be concerned ? it s 3am

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Joint and muscle pain can occur in the cough and cold, flu. Rash can also be seen in viral illness.
The symptoms are likely part of the cold that you state you are experiencing.
If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction (itching, swelling, redness) then you should take an oral antihistamine.
I hope this helps
