What Causes Red Rashes On The Stomach After Giving Liquid Tylenol In A Throat Cancer Patient?

my husband has cancer of the hypophagnx and is the 3rd week of chemo and radiation. Tonight he started having chills and shaking and said he was cold. I took his temperature and it was 103. he had a feeding tube put in last week and is not able to swallow food or pills , only a little water because of all the phlgm that he coughs up coming from the tumor. I finally got him to sit up so that I could give him some liquid tylenol thru his feeding tube when I noticed a moddled looking red rash all over his stomach and back. I took his tempature again and it was 104. after about a half an hour it has come back down to 102.9. What does a fever and a rash mean in his situation?

Hi

After hearing your history i think the rashes on stomach are due to side effects of giving liquid tylenol

I would advise your husband to take levocetrizine tablet twice daily after food for 5 days.
