Yes l have the same reaction a red rash and feeling very un-well.

Definitely get medical advice with urgency.

Always go straight to A&E when a suspected allergic reaction occurs – can never be to cautious!

Definitely sounds like an allergy. The doctor will be able to confirm for sure. I would stop using it until you have seen the doctor though.

Symptoms are the same as my penicillin allergy.

My daughter is allergic to it she had a rash, vomiting and then her throat started to swell

that’s amazing though to be allergic. at least they have alternatives

how did you go with bub?

My daughter had an allergic reaction to it as a baby, just an angry red rash, but my grandmother had an allergic reaction to it twice, and was told the next time she had Penicillin it could be fatal. Would definitely check with the Dr, glad you are going to go! Be careful and aware allergies are very dangerous!

If in doubt call the local hospital (they’ll probably tell you to bring them in) as any allergic reaction can be life threatening. DO NOT WAIT TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

It could be a reaction and if it is then it could be life threatening …seriously.
being allergic to Penicillin is serious….My Mum was allergic.
Contact the Doctor ASAP. Better to be safe then sorry.

Please don\’t wait until tomorrow. I would be getting a home doctor ( phone Home Doctor Service) or getting to your nearest hospital. Allergies shouldn\’t ever be taken lightly. Good luck!

Please ring your Doctors clinic to see if you can speak to a nurse. This may be a reaction to antibiotic or a sign that illness is getting worse. I wouldn’t wait until tomorrow for my child.

Sounds like it to me. My niece is allergic to penicillin and had a similar reaction. My daughter was allergic to rulide (antibiotic and had similar reaction as well as fainting.) Best to get back to doctor asap.

Yep. Stop the meds and go to the doctor. My youngest did the same thing. She had a reaction within 2hrs of taking her first dose.

Yes! Stop the antibiotics and demand an appointment! There are other antibiotics that will make him better without this reaction. I had the same problem I can’t take penicillin either.

yes stop the medication and go to your doctors

A few years ago (when my now 7 year old was 9 months old) had an ear infection and on the second dose of amoxicillin broke out in hives. Starting on his face, that spread to his torso and limbs. I took him straight to the GP and they assumed that it was his second course of abx. And proclaimed an allergy, saying that we could test it when he’s older.

We haven’t tested it yet, and it isn’t a big deal (other than all the forms need to have it listed as an allergy). At the time we treated the allergy symptoms with claratine (anti-histimine) and switched to a different anti-biotic.

Personally I would take him in as soon as possible… Because he shouldn’t have to suffer.

I hope it is as simple as a penicillin allergy.

I had that same reaction — only when we went to the doctor the fool diagnosed me with hand, foot and mouth disease, upped my penicillin dosage and I ended up in hospital. I’d stop giving him the antibiotics and take him to the doctor as soon as you can to get a different prescription, Keflex or something, but most importantly take him off the penicillin!

I’m allergic to penicillin and get shortness of breath and a rash (starts on my chest and stomach though) – sounds like your son could be allergic too, stop giving him the medicine immediately just in case and get him to the doc straight away or hospital if doc closed. Penicillin allergies are taken very seriously as there are so many different ways of reacting.
