Q After taking antibiotic cipro, I started to get itchy skin and a rash started to appear so the doctor had me stop taking the antibiotic on Friday. Now, almost a week later my whole body still itches excessively. When I touch my skin, scratching or not, it becomes red and inflamed...sometimes it has bumps, but not always. My throat also itches and is sore. Is this still my body reacting to the antibiotic from a week ago or is this from something else? Should I be worried?
Based upon your symptoms and history it is most likely that you still have allergic symptoms caused due to antibiotic cipro. You should consult your doctor who can prescribe you antihistamines to reduce your suffering.
