three weeks ago, i was very seriously covered with mold from an orange tree. since, ive been itchy, with red spots that disappear within a day, spots have raised margins and are not wide spread, approx. 5-20 cm in diameter. i also am suffering with a tooth infection. i was given clindamycin for the infection, last night i began the course of antibiotics and due to pain, i took a tramadol and 400 mg. ibuprofen. i woke up in the middle of the night , extremely itchy, with hives on my trunk and a very strange large swelling on one side of my face, in my mouth, on the opposite side from my tooth infection. i went to the emergency room. the doctor gave me a shot of benadryl, and prescribed methoxyzine. the swelling and itchiness are still present, although minimized a bit. do you think this is a drug reaction? how long should this swelling last? isnt it unusual that i was itchy for weeks before this? whaddaya think.
Hi I do care for your concern. The allergic reaction from the mold could have flared up with use of antibiotics which itself may cause allergic reaction in some cases. The Chat Doctor.
