Sulfamethoxazole / Trimethoprim And Welts On The Body

My husband has been on this medication for four days and this evening he developed welts all over his body that itch very much. He has not been anywhere that he could have had insect bites. Could this be a reaction to the medication?

Yes, it could be the symptom of an allergic reaction, according to FDA reports. He may also experience trouble breathing, so he should seek medical attention, as soon as possible.

Is he one any other medications?

A lot of people end up being allergic to this medication, over 3% of the population.
