What Is The Reason For Allergic Reaction Coming Back After Taking Allegra?
Hi, my son had an allergic reaction to Augmentin about 2 weeks ago and has been taking Allegra to combat the allergy. However, two weeks later he is still breaking out in hives. Can it still be the Augmentin or could he be allergic to the Allegra? He has always taken Benedryl previously and has never taken Allegra before.

Hi...allergic reaction to Allegra is extremely rare. But theoretically any drug can cause allergy. It could be an urticaria or allergy unrelated to the antibiotic or Allegra. I suggest you shift back to benadryl with which you never had any problems.
