Hi,

It can be allergic reaction, how ever allergic reaction is more pronounced immediately after the dosage. As of now stop IV antibiotics and do consult your treating physician. You can go for a sensitivity testing before starting antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
