I'm allergic to iodine and penicillin I take 5 mg of norvasc advair my foot doctor gave me 2 shots of lidocaine next day I notice hives/rash under my shin still have it it's going away. The shots did nothing for the pain instead it gave me different pain. Should doctor have giving me lidocaine?
Perhaps you have an allergy to the lidocaine as well? If that is the case, and it didn't do much for you anyway, you should let the doctor know so it can be placed in your chart. Iodine and penicillin are not related in drug properties to lidocaine so there would be no way of telling if the lidocaine would cause an allergic reaction at all. All you can do is report it to your doctor and pharmacist so that they know about it. I am unsure about any other alternatives to lidocaine, but if there is, it will be the drug of choice to numb you if you need to have any procedures done that require numbing.
