What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation In Face Despite Taking Cephalexin For Cold Sore?
I have a cold sore, canker sore, and a rash on the left side of my face.. I went to a walk in clinic and he prescribed Cephalexin 500 & Benadryl. I have taken 4 dozes & my face still tingles & has sharp pain running through it. the rash is under eyesocket on eyebrow on forehead & under nose. The Dr. said something about infected hair follicles &staph infection. I thought it might of been shingles as I had just one spot 20 yrs ago on forehead? Just wondering if I should go back in or wait a few more days
