What Causes Rashes On The Neck And Chest Area While Using Advil Pills?

I have taken 6 Advil liquid-gel capsules for back pain after a fall 2 days ago woke up with rash in neck & chest area this morning so stopped taking. I wonder if it a reaction from my perscription medication. I take in the evening Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg, Levothyroxine Sodium 100mg, Fosinopril Sodium 40mg, Nexium 40mg,Simvastatin 40mg,Metoprolol Succinate 200mg plus Aspirin 81mg.

Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a local allergic reaction or an allergic reaction related to Advil medicine. Have you taken this drug before?

I would recommend avoiding Advil in the next days and see if your situation improves. Loratadine or Cetirizine drug can help improve your situation.

If the rash persists, I recommend consulting with an allergologist for a physical inspection and performing allergy tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
