Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The symptoms could be related to hypersensitivity or allergy to the seizure medication.
Can you tell the name of the medication?
As of now, you should not take the next dose of this medication.
For relieving the itching and rash, drugs such as levocetrizine or fexofenadine may be useful.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
