Itching effect of Cefaclor

After administration of amoxicillin for 1 day (3 incomes) and immediate reddening of the hands and feet was switched to cefaclor. The redness and itching remained and intensified. Cetrizine was ineffective. After three days of taking Cefaclor (3 times a day) massive exanthem with bleeding on hands, feet as well as at the level of hip and knee joints, these also swelled strongly. In places lighter edema. Severe redness, swelling and heat on arms and legs. Three days after stopping the preparation redness and swelling of the face, the palms became increasingly borky. One week inpatient treatment with Cortinson IV, followed by four days at home Cortisongabe. After the rash subsided after about 14 days, the skin on the hands, feet and face began to peel.

My daughter (16 months) had Cefaclor due to a constant ENT infection, followed by fever. The drug helped immediately and was well tolerated. Towards the end of the therapy she had mild diarrhea, but this subsided immediately after stopping. – Two weeks later, she suddenly had 39 degrees Fever in the morning and touched her ears, so middle ear infection. Again, Cefaclor was prescribed, which I could only give until the 4th day, then she had violent diarrhea at night, writhed with flatulence and abdominal pain, the haunting lasted about 4 hours, then formed initially itchy, itching, strong red and swollen wheals, a day later under the armpits and diaper area. She screamed all day, scratching herself incessantly, never resting at all. The pediatrician then diagnosed urticaria (hives) and prescribed 10 drops of citirizine (antihistamine) for at least a week. That helped immediately. After just the first 10 drops (directly in the pharmacy) she retired within a few minutes and then fell asleep in the car. The puffiness and redness still hiked and spread, but they did not itch or hurt anymore and were not so hot anymore. She is like a substitute. Of course, now the snot comes back, because the therapy with cefaclor was indeed broken off, and so we will have to find in the next few days a better tolerated antibiotic, which can heal their ears. – As much as Cefaclor is prescribed for children …, it is probably not as well tolerated.
