HI,
I understands your concern.
Herx reaction is body's response to death of bacteria due to antibiotics9 Because of endorphin's released by bacterial death. ) the signs & symptoms vary from chills/ fever/ hypotension to more sever symptoms like shock. So management has to be done with close observation of patient ( in hospital if needful ) ranging from simple anti inflammatory drugs to .IV infusions.
Psychology plays 50% role in all symptoms.
