Suggest Remedy For Hives
I have an infant duaghter on amoxicillin for an ear infection. When she sweats and touches my skin I get hives in that spot. She also smells different at this time, which I expected. I haven't changed anything else in my life, but my whole face has hives right now. I am allergic to sulfa's, and my mother said I had a reaction once to penicillin, and had red dots all over, but I don't have it listed as an allergy.

Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
Your reaction is because of allergy reaction you are having.
I suggest you to take cetrizine and prednisolone tablet under your doctors guidnace. This drugs will help you lowers your allergy reaction.
If you are getting allergy because of this than you should avoid touching the person who has taken the sulfa and penicillin group of drugs.
If you have to touch such a person than you should touch it with the steroid cream applied on the skin. Steroid cream can cause skin thining on prolong use so if you can avoid it avoid the steroid cream.
The only treatment to allergy is to be away from the allergy. so if you can avoid exposure to such drugs you will never faces hives.
