Fixed drug reaction

This gentleman developed the aboved lesions within 12 hours of taking Paracetamol for high grade fever. Review of his case notes, actually documented that he had history of allergic to Paracetamol. According to the patient, he felt terrible because of the fever and took the medication despite the known allergy.

What other alternative if the patient has allergy to Paracetamol?
