[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 608329, member: 1233"] Another strong vote to discontinue and call the doctor. It is entirely possible to have taken a medication with no problems in the past and then to suddenly have an allergic reaction to it. been there done that and it can be miserable. Sulfa drugs have a higher rate of infection than many other medications. As she is likely allergic to a sulfa drug, she needs to know to avoid them in the future AND to avoid aspirin (of course being under 18 she would avoid it due to Reyes Syndrome) for the rest of her life. I don't fully understand how they are related, but I have been told by my docs and my allergy doctor that if you are allergic to sulfa you react the same way to aspirin. Each reaction is much more severe and dangerous. I am sorry it made her so sick. I hope the doctor acts quickly and is able to help her. It would be a good idea to have benadyl on hand if you don't already. [/QUOTE]
