Exclamation allergies with sulfa

can be different....hives are not as common.

The rash comes instead. Stop the drug immediately and drink lots of water and take Benadryl (not Claritin )

If you continue with it, it can lead to nerve damage or other
more serious things.
If it does not clear up-- you might need a Medrol Dospak.

Sulfonamide allergies are very serious and toxic.

Report to the doctor, ASAP, since you need supervision and a replacement drug.

Good luck!
