Where is the rash?
Benadryl is great for problems with medicine related rashes, but it makes most people too sleepy to work or drive.
If the rash is in the mouth or throat you can use benadryl syrup and rinse, or gargle, then spit it out. That way it works locally. Benadryl comes in an over the counter cream too, and in an "insect sting stick". Ask the Dr. too, there may be a substitute that causes fewer side effects.

Uses
Allopurinol is an enzyme blocker that lowers high levels of uric acid in your body by decreasing the amount produced. It is used to treat gout and certain types of kidney stones. This drug is also used to prevent high uric acid levels in patients who receive cancer chemotherapy. Cancer cells that are destroyed with therapy release large amounts of uric acid into the bloodstream.

This drug may rarely cause very serious (possibly fatal) allergic reactions. Stop taking allopurinol and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF ANY OF THESE ALLERGIC REACTION SYMPTOMS OCCUR: SKIN RASH, HIVES, ITCHING, SWELLING, (especially of the lips or mouth), dizziness, pain when urinating, blood in the urine, unusual eye redness/pain, fever and chills, muscle/joint pain, trouble breathing.If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
