Thank you for asking your query.

It seems that you are having an allergic reaction and/or side effect to Metronidazole. Allergic reaction can cause this kind of itching sensation of the body. Peripheral Neuropathy a side effect of Metronidazole can cause the crawling and skin tightening feeling.

Peripheral neuropathy can persist even after the drug is withdrawn. This could be the reason why you are experiencing the problem even now. Another possibility is a delayed allergic reaction. Its not possible to say which among this can be the reason, without detailed testing. As of now there is not much to worry. You can wait for a couple of days to see whether the symptoms are settling down. You can take an anti-allergic medication like Cetirizine in consultation with your Family Physician/ GP. If the problems persist beyond a couple of day, you need to visit a Doctor. Other causes than drug allergy should also be considered in that case.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I would recommend you to try Benadryl. Its a very safe medicine. It may work wonders. And even if it does not there is nothing much to worry about.You can take it for two days. Incase of any issues contact your FP. You can also take a B complex vitamin tablet as this can help in peripheral neuropathy. Make sure you are not drinking alcohol. As alcohol and any remenents of Metronidazole can cross react.

Hope this helps

I strongly recommend you to consider visiting a Physician in person. Other causes for this symptoms has to be ruled out. Meanwhile continue Benadryl with Vitamin B complex for a day or two.

Hope this helps
