Drug interaction of dextromorphan hydrobromide

Category: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide

My 10 year old daughter was just diagnosed with Erythema Nodosum, a form of panniculitus. This is her 3rd time exhibiting the symptoms of the disorder. One of the causes listed under medications was for bromide drugs. I know for a fact she was taking dextromorphan hydrobromide for 5 days prior to this recent out break. I can safely assume that she was also taking it at the other times as well. Because she has chronic sinus infections and takes it at night to sleep if she has a cold or sinus infection. Could this be the cause and is there any history of other cases similiar to my description?

Thank You
Sharon
