Apo Cephalex

I have just finished a 10 day dose of apo cephalex for an infection on my foot, which has still not fully healed, and I have suddenly developed hives all over my body, as of today. Could the hives be related to the medication, even though they occurred only after that many days of taking it?

Yes, it could very well be what's caused your hives.

Antibiotics do remain in your system for several days after you take them and there are many people that make it about 9 days in and suddenly develop an allergic reaction. When I discovered one that I was allergic to, I made it 9 and half days in, I had one dose left to go.

You should consult your doctor, of course, to make sure that is what has caused them, but there's a very good chance it is.

Is there anything else I can help with?
