Sulfameth Trimeth Susp Grape Side Effects

I have a 4 year old grandson that has been on this for 10 days. No problems till tenth day. Broke out in a rash all over his body. Face (Cheeks) puffy. We gave him Benadryl. No sore throat or diarrhea. We think it's a reaction from the drug. Can you advise or confirm ?

Hello, Patricia! How is he doing?

Yes, it was likely due to an allergic reaction to, this antibiotic causes it fairly frequently comparatively and in most cases during the last day or two of treatment.

He shouldn't continue taking it and it needs to be noted in his medical records, so he doesn't take it again in the future, because the reactions to this one just tend to get worse each time the person takes it, again.

His doctor also needs to be informed, so they can check it out.

Is there anything else I can help with?
