Took Keflex, Blisters And Rashes On Feet, Arms And Thighs. Treatment?
I was on Keflex for 7 days and developed blisters of my feet and have a rash that began on my feet, went up my lower legs and is now manifesting itself on my inner arms and thighs. I am taking Benadryl and wondered what else I can do to relieve these side effects. I have never had an allergic reaction to any meds and am almost 71 years of age.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The main treatment for an allergic reaction is the use of oral anti histamine, avoidance of the precipitating event ( the use of medication in your case) and in severe cases, prednisolone may be needed.
At present there is nothing else that would be recommended at this time.
If your symptoms worsen then your doctor may consider a course of prednisolone.
I hope this helps
