JUST BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT DRUG.
Is it possible to look like this just by swallowing a drug?
The answer of course , is YES.
Unforunately, there are some things one doesn’t know about one’s health until one has a life changing experience . An experience one doesn’t forget. An example is a drug reaction.
Recently managed a young girl whose only crime was to take a popular sulphur containing antimalarial tablet ( those that require you to take 3 tablets at once). She ended up looking like the above.
Could this condition be fatal?
The answer is YES, see this sad story.
Question : Name the above condition/ possible conditions and or common drugs that give such reactions.

I'm betting Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a scary drug reaction for sure.
Yes, definitely SJS. Thanks Carrie.
Wow, that looks scary. Thankfully, I haven't had any reactions to medicine, though to be honest, I try to avoid taking any medications when possible.
Thank you Michael, as good as drugs are, we do have to be careful and sure they are necessary before taking them.
