My daughter has lupus and is on benlysta, she developed a skin infection diagnosed by her PCP and put on bactrim had a very bad reaction after first dose requiring ER visit for flank pain, fever and rash on chest. She was given solumedrol, benadryl IV and sent home on prednisone taper for 5 days, started taking clindamycin yeterday and now feels hot again with red face nd prickly rash on chest and neck again. Should she stop the clindamycin? The only other allergy she has had was to avalox
Hello, Here is my advice. Has she seen a dermatologist yet? Looks like she is having an allergic reaction to clindamycin too. Is her skin infection better? Please hold off on antibiotics and consult a dermatologist for her skin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
