Thanks for query on HCM. This type of side effect is not commonly seen,but you may have drug reaction. Some drugs can not be given with macrobid. You have to consult your treating doctor and review your medicines. Otherwise start oral mild steroid with levocetrizine to subside allergic reaction. Apply calamine,aloevera lotion on body to get cool effect. It will subside within next 7 to 10 days. Drink more water and other liquids. Keep in touch with your doctor.
