Do Antibiotics Containing Sulfur Cause Body Rashes And Joint Pain?
I had a sever allergic reaction to a sulfur antibiotic. The last time I took the medication was at 3 am on 11/12/17. I have been on this medication for 7 days and only had a small minor rash up until today. I had severe joint pain (wasn t able to walk) , trouble breathing and a raw throat. The symptoms have changed for the better 75%. I still have a bit of shortness of breath. I have not taken the drug today since I have been so sick and this is the only thing I could contribute the reactions too. Is it possible to have such a delayed reaction?
