Brief Answer:
Take antihistamines
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As you explain the history it seems like an allergic reaction due to antibiotic but a late one.
You can take antihistamines medication such as Telfast 120 mg orally twice per day, for up to ten days.
It is safe and does not interferes with the current treatment you are taking. You will feel better soon. You can consult your physician if its really bothering and if the antibiotic can be withdrawn.
Regards and feel free to ask me again
