Ibilex 500 Cephalexin- Rash Symtoms

Ny name is Jane. I consider myself to be healthy. l have a skin infection from possibily a spider bite on my right wrist. Have been taking ibilex 500 for 3 days now. Have developed a rash on my lower right arm and left side of neck, both very itchy, and this morning, I have a swollen left eye. l still have 3 days of tablets to take. The continual weeping skin infected wound has only just began to subside. Up to date, I was changing dressings at least 5 times a day.Will this rash sensation dissappear when l stop ibilex 500? Or should l go back to the Doctor now?

REPORT

An itchy rash could be a symptom of an allergic reaction, so you should have it checked it, because you may need to try a different antibiotic.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Are you on any other medications?
