AB A  penicillin  allergic  young  boy  was  given  trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole  for  otitis  media  and  broke  out  in  hives  one  week  later.  The  hives  were  on  his  trunk  and  arms  (Figure  134-1).  He  had  no  airway  symptoms  and  had  only  urticaria  without  angioedema.  His  fever  was  gone,  his  ear  pain  was  resolved,  and  his  tympanic  membranes  were  not  bulging,  so  his  parents  were  told  to  stop  the  antibiotic.  The  pediatrician  prescribed  an  H1-blocker  that  gave  him  relief  of  symptoms  and  the  wheals  disappeared  over  the  next  2  days.
