Hives?

For two days I had been taking the recommended 2 tablespoons of Tylenol Cough & Sore Throat Daytime Liquid, only once a day. After the first day, within 24 hours, I developed a slight rash on my upper thighs. The next day, I had a slight case of diahrrea (after my second dosage). So, by the third day, I stopped taking the medication thinking it was the cause. I am 5' 1" tall and weigh 125 pounds. On the fourth day, the rash abated so I took one tablespoon (decreased the dosage) of the medicine. This morning (about 12 hours since I took the one tablespoon), I have developed hives on my inner lower thighs, just above my knees. Is there something in the medication that I am allergic to? I looked up dextromethorphan hydrobromide and do not see hives as a contraindication. Thanks!
