Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
You have not stated your age, gender, personal habits, family history or co-morbidities
Any drug may cause allergic reaction. If in doubt, stop the drug and see your doctor.
There re several classes of drugs and several drugs in each class -they can find one for you - but it will take time... Don't rush for surgery - it is not an emergency... Wait for proper control
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
