What Causes Rashes On The Arms And Legs After Receiving A Rocephin Shot?
During this past week, I experienced three days of afternoon fevers with chills, aches, headaches and neck pain. The last night my fever went to almost 103. I had had a bacterial infection in my urinary tract and was on my second antibiotic and wondered if the antibiotic was causing my symptoms. I went into my doctor s office the following morning and was given an injection of Rocephen. Later that evening I broke out in a rash on my legs and arms which I still have, I am a 63 year old female.
