my daughter had a uti and they put her on Bactrim . After finishing the antibiotic she woke up with swollen glands and her eyes hurt. Went back to doctor and said it was a virus. Next day woke up with itchy rash over trunk area so figured it was part of the virus and didn t sleep all night due to constant itching. Tried aveeno bath, hydrocortisone cream, aloe , nothing worked. Next day rash all over face and neck and then face started to swell. Went to immediate care and diagnosed with allergy to Sulfa. Gave here 5 days of steroids, hydrocortisone tablets and cream. Also Pepcid . Has one day left of steroid and is experiencing squeezing feeling upper abdomen and under her ribcage. Now what could this be?
It may be due to side effect of steroids. It causes increased acid secretion in stomach causing gastric ulceration. This is causing pain upper abdomen. So antacids and PPI is to be taken to receive these symptoms.
