Question

I've been experiencing some intense itching all over my body and head, and it started around 1 pm. There are areas that have become swollen and red, and my fingers are really swollen too. This happened just a couple of hours after I took MOX 500 and a painkiller following a tooth extraction. Do you think the MOX could be causing this?

Allergic reactions to antibiotics like Amoxicillin can manifest as itching, swelling, and redness on the skin, as well as swelling of the fingers. It is important to stop taking MOX 500 and the painkiller immediately and seek medical attention. For the itching and swelling, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
