Question: Is it possible that the medicine is the problem!?
Okay, I got diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday but three days ago I took robitussin and two days ago started getting hives!. Yesterday they slowed down (probably because I didn't take any robitussin that morning) but I got prescribed cheratussin along with a z pack thing and I took the cheratussin about midday and they came back and I took it again 4 hours later, then it hit me that the cough syrup was probably the cause of the hives!. Is that possible!? If it is, is it okay to keep taking the z pack thing without taking the cough syrup!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
it could indeed be the cough syrup, and yes you can certainly take the z-pack, and should, without the syrup!. My only concern would be if you were taking the antibiotic (zpack) with the cough syrup!.!.!.then you would not know for sure which is causing the rash!. Be sure to inform your doctor that the cough syrup caused a rash, so they don't presribe it for you in future!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
