There is no practical way to decide which agent evoked this type of allergic reaction. If you have a reaction but more than one medication was used you can only play with the statistics. Statistics will give you the probability and in no way can relate to your individual case. It is so-called an "educated giuess". As close as you can get with statistics, nevertheless it remains a guess.
