Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Your question> What is the treatment for this and how long it all take to cure?
For allergy he should stop taking the drug which caused these symptoms and has to take anti histamine and corticosteroid based on the severity. These should be taken till the symptoms disappears.
A person cannot be allergic to all drugs. He may be allergic to the components like additives or colouring agent. Check for them. For life saving drugs like phenytoin he can take other company drugs under the observation of doctor. This may help him to choose right drug for him.
Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards

Hi...
Thanks for the query..
Aspirin generally doesn't cause rashes..
It could be because of eptoin..
Your treating physician can start substitute for eptoin..
He can be on supportive therapy like vit supplements etc.
Instead of aspirin there are substitutes like clopidogrel, heparin and warfarin as anti coagulants..
Hope this information is helpful.. Take care..
