How Can Side Effects Of Sulfameth Be Controlled?

Yes..My daughter got an insect bight and had a reaction to it. She was prescribed Sulfameth. And appears to hacve a reaction (adverse) to it. Should she continue to take the med ?. She resides in another state and I am in a senior nursing home and do have control of my funds so I cannot pay for your services. Thank you and good bye.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If she has an allergic reaction to the medication then it should be discontinued.

She would need to be sure that the symptoms are in keeping with an allergic reaction not side effects of the medication. The side effect profile should be reviewed.

An antihistamine would be needed if it is an allergic reaction

I hope this helps
