Suggest Remedies For Hives While On Oxycodone

Posted on Mon, 4 Jul 2016

Question: I have been taking oxycodone 5/325 1/2 tab twice daily for my back with no issues. yesterday a couple of hours after I took it I noticed these little red hard bumps popping up here and there. one on each elbow 3 or 4 on each hand, one or 2 on my leg. itch a little until they pop up and then no longer itch. is this a reaction to the med? do not appear to be hives. I still have them today and have not taken the med yet . I've been on it for about 2 months

No, this is not due to oxycodone.

no fever today although I did feel as if I were having chills last night. I had a steroid shot for my back a month ago. maybe my immune system is still off.

Brief Answer:
Possibility of viral infection related skin lesions is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having chills, possibility of viral infection related skin lesions is more.
So no need to worry much. These will subside by its own. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
If itching then you can take antihistamine like levocetrizine.
