    PiCC site healing

    Breaking out in hives

    It could be a number of things causing it. All my life I have had random outbreaks of hives/swelling which usually came and went without ever really determining the cause. However don't discount the Bactrim just because she has been on it for awhile. I have developed several allergies to...
