Legs Swelling, Red Marks Across Neck, Chest, Arms. Burning, Itching. Prescribed Benazepril. Having Reaction. Solution?

Ice seems to be helping a little. her normal medications are hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, prevastatin 40 mg, phenytoin 600 mg daily. She has recently been prescribed benazepril 20 mg and i believe she is having a reaction. what would be my best plan of action?

hi
okay any of the drugs like phenytoin thiazide or benazepril can cause painful skin rash burning....okay either you can stop all medicine except replace phenytoin with epival and wait a week if rash goes away add one by one or
get another sister of benazepril.......'
till now start using loratindine and calamine lotion if possible use tooth paste(home remedy and a little bit of air
take care
