Does Macpod 200 Cause Skin Allergies And Throat Dryness?

i have fever from last 5 days, the second day i have consulted a doctor and did all the blood test including CBC, ESR, SGPT and also Malaria PC.... Every thing was fine in the results, and the doctor asked me to continue with DOLO 650... But i was feeling very tiered and i have consulted an other doctor he told me that there are some symptoms of typhoid an gave me an antibiotic Macpod 200, one vitamin tablet an injection for reducing the fever and dolo 650.. the very next day i got allergy, my skin got reddish and my throat was getting dry. again i consulted the same doctor he said it may be because of Macpod 200 tablet and asked to stop the same gave me an other antibiotic which contains only CEFPODOXIME 100MG also an injection for reducing the allergy and asked to use some medicines against the allergy... but now i am worried is it must that i should use medicine against the allergy...? because i don't have fever from yesterday. i have stopped Dolo 650 as well as Macpod 200, and started the new antibiotic. Is this allergy due to antibiotic is a serious one ? it can be cured only by medicines ? please give me some good suggetions

welcome.
macpod 200 consist of cefpodoxime .
stop all medicines.
in my opinion this was not allergy due to macpod ,because second doctor prescribed you the same salt .
it was viral.
most of time itching & hives comes in viral fever.
take allegra or levocetrizine if you feel itching.
take care.
