Hello Dr. I ve taken a nasty allergy to amoxicillin (not been allergic in the past I am 37), had all over hives and itchy rash for 4-5 days. My Dr has prescribed fexofenadine and chlorophenamine to ease itching which has helped to some degree however now the rash is subsiding I am turning black & blue and my hands and feet have swollen and are extremely painful, especially to walk.
