Hi,
Yes, it could be an allergic reaction to the drugs. I suggest you to give him an oral antihistamine e.g., Tab Cetirizine once a day, if it was just a transient hive like reaction. You may continue Cetirizine for a few days. However, if it is a persistent/spreading/bullous/purpuric or a painful eruption, then my advice would be to discontinue the medication and follow up with your doctor for a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
