Brief Answer:
Less than a week!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this allergic reaction. I suggest you tell your doctors about this so that they can give to you the full list of medications which contain this active ingredient and you need to keep away from.
This allergy will get better as you have already started to get treated and the drug has been stopped. Most patients recover within a week and are symptoms free. I do anticipate this will be a similar scenario with you. We are looking at few than a week for you to start feeling great fully. For now, let your doctors manage the pain appropriately by increasing the dosage and/or frequency of medication.
In all, less than a week and drugs should be adapted to control the pain.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
