Rash

I just had my gall bladder removed last Saturday and am recovering nicely at home.

This morning I developed a rash on my upper body, front and back. Had the wife apply lotion and this helps a lot but only last for about an hour.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

I finished taking my antibiotics yesterday, Augmentin, and only taking flo-max now.

If not better by in the morning I will go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of Calydril.

Anyway, is this normal after surgery?

A rash is listed as one rare side effects of hydrocodone:

When I had my gallbladder removed I was also prescribed hydrocodone. It really made me nauseous. I finally stopped taking it and preferred the mild post-surgery pain to the nausea. It also was easier eating.

P.S. I also switched from BVDs to loose waist boxer shorts and found them easier on the lower torso.
