Re; Reaction to antibiotics- URGENT
been taking them for sore throat for 2 days now, today i have a kinda of rash on my face which is very obviouse at it is red. I feel very tired, but the tiredness could be due to the fact that I have sore throat and a cold. What should I do? Should I stop taking them. I was told that I need to finish the course of antibiotics or else I would possibly get more sick then I am now. Please advise

Hi Boogy
I would not continue with antibiotics if I get a rash, but you do need to let your GP look at you, you also may have a viral disease, or you may have glandular fever, which sometimes causes a rash on taking antibiotics.
