I have out of commission for several days. It all started last week when I went to the ER with a flare up of my cellulitis. The doctor gave me some sulfermeth. Everything seemed to be okay until a few days ago. I thought I had pulled a muscle in my right shoulder because I over did it with my Mom's new Wii bowling. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to the sulfermeth antibiotic. I now have a rash covering my body and sore muscles. I'm now taking Benadryl and hoping the alleries go away soon. I have an appointment with my doctor next week. I read the allergy takes up to a week or more to fully get out of my body. The doctor gave me Keflex but I forgot I am also allergic to that and stopped taking it. My cellulitis is better, but I feel horrible. Any suggestions on how to relieve the itchiness alongside the Benedryl? I have Calomine lotion I've been putting on my body. I also bough some none perfumed soap. Showers are so great. I just hate this. |

my brother swears by Aveeno oatmeal bath. it's not cheap but it WORKS. you can get it at Walgreens in the section where they have anti-itch medicine. |

Thanks, I'll check it out. What I need is someone to massage some Calomine lotion in my back. It's difficult to reach some areas on the back. |

STOP CHANGING THIS ADMINS

Last year, when I had all the flea bites on my ankles, I found salt worked some. Using salt water. It can't hurt to try.

I think there are some sprays at the Walgreens that helps with the itchy thing. You should ask your doctor what's good for itchy, if you can use those sprays. |

Baking soda bath followed by Sarna lotion. Hydrocortisone and benedryl also help.
