This case report presents the case of a 17-year-old female who developed a generalized rash after 5 days of aceclofenac therapy prescribed for acute tonsillitis. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in adolescents. After causality assessment, aceclofenac was considered to be the suspect. As per the Naranjo scale, it was found to be ”probable.”
