I took Cefixime for my fever for 2 days. Since then, I have developed a dry mouth, itching all over my body, and body aches, especially a headache. How can I get relief from these symptoms?
You must stop taking Cefixime immediately and contact your doctor, as itching all over your body may be a sign of an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. You may take an over-the-counter antihistamine (such as loratadine) to help with the itching, use paracetamol for your headache, and drink plenty of water to relieve your dry mouth.
