As I wrote previously I had anaphylaxis to Ceftin last week and went to the ER. I was given prednisone for 4 days following and my rash/hives went away. Over the last few days the rash has come back and is spreading. I am going to see the allergist tomorrow, but I'm just wondering if any one else here has had continuing reactions to a drug that you finished taking over a week ago? I am worrying and I don't want to have to take the prednisone for too long. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jen

Well I went to the allergist this morning. He said I am still reacting to the ceftin. They gave me some shots in the office and now I am back on the prednisone. The rash has climbed up onto my face, so I really hope the prednisone takes care of it. I feel rotten and I'm hoping this will go away. Any others with similar experiences? I feel like a real phenomenon right now.

Thanks,
Jen

I'm doing much better. I'm still on the Prednisone, rash is gone now and allergies are way better. I will be going to the allergist again this week for allergy testing. I am a bit nervous about this, but hopefully it will be helpful for me in the long run. I have added Ceftin to my allergy list on my MedicAlert bracelet. Hopefully things will be Ok after I finish up the Prednisone tomorrow. It has been a rough few weeks.

Thanks for reading.
