m having an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin? Or maybe a better question is how long would a reaction to Amoxicillin take to appear?
This is the first time in 15 years I've been on *any* type of antibiotic so I'm not sure I'd even know if I was allergic to any.
Hi, a rash is a side effect of amoxicillin which is very different than an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction to amoxicillin (and then all penicillin based meds would be included) is sudden and intense and can quickly become life threatening.
Rash is listed as a side effect to this antibiotic. Call the doctor but it is highly unlikely that it is an allergic reaction but a side effect.
The initial “strange sensation” on your lip and itching all over is consistent with an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin. Having tolerated the Z-pack well, your having a reaction to Clarithromycin would be unlikely but not impossible. Itching 48 hours after ingestion of an antibiotic to which a person is allergic is not uncommon. Any of these reactions could be accentuated by anxiety.
You are being cautious, not paranoid, and that is a good thing.
Hello dear and welcome to the medhelp forum. You have most probably suffered from an acute allergic reaction to the consumption of the penicillin antibiotic. Your doctor is right in saying that you need not become paranoid about it. My only concern is that your physician should rule out steven johnsons syndrome which is due to an immune system disorder mostly secondary to drugs like penicillin and sulphonamides. Clinical features are fever, sore throat, skin and mucosal lesions.
I had difficulty figuring out that I was having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin because many of the symptoms (abdominal pain and swollen glands) were similar to the original infection and the more classis symptoms (tching and hives) didn't appear until after I had finished my third prescription.
My question? Is amoxicillin less effective in fighting an infection if you are allergic to the antibiotic? If so, would it be completely useless or still have some of the desired effect?
Sometimes people who are allergic to amoxicillin aren't actually allergic to amoxicillin. A lot of times the illnesses that amox is used to treat can cause a rash as well which is why many people who aren't really allergic get labeled as having an allergy... There is also the possibility that it's only amox you are allergic to and not penicillins as a whole.
My Niece broke out in a rash all over looked like chicken pox we took her to the dr
she had been on Amoxicillian for an ear infection for 6 days and had taken it before
the dr said it was an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin or a virius to stop giving the amoxicillin to her and give her benyadell we did
the rash got a little better but broke out in other places
and now she has pain in her joints all over and swelling in her joints
Is this part of the allergic reaction or is something els
The doctor proceeded to tell my parents and I that there was something within the ingredients of the beer that I was allergic to. I am now 21 years old, have had multiple allergic reactions to beer and other malt beverages, although the reactions were not as sever. I have been working with allergy doctors to try and figure out what it is that I’m allergic to, but have been unsuccessful. Any help?
I was put on Cephalexin 500mg twice a day, to cure Impetigo that I developed after a bad chest cold. I am allergic to amoxicillin, but my doc said I shouldn't react to it. It has been 3 days since I have
started the medication, and I have developed little red bumps all over my body, and I am becoming very itchy. Could this be the antibiotic's doing?
Hi, welcome to the forum, most probable cause can be severe allergic reaction to amoxicillin in the form of angioedema. This may be associated with laryngeal swelling leading to respiratory obstruction. Hence, it is important to rule out this condition.
It usually involves three types of attack like-
The skin (cutaneous attacks)
The gastrointestinal tract (abdominal attacks) and
The larynx (laryngeal attacks)
Adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs are common encountered now a days esp.
Hello,
It seems that you have had a serious allergic reaction to the antibiotics.Hives may appear on the body even by touch in cases of serious allergic reactions.Take some antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.They are available over the counter and will help in relieving hives.However benadryl may cause drowsiness.If the symptoms persist then you may need oral steroids which are available only on prescription.Sometimes these drugs have to be taken for a longer time period.
Hope it helps.

This is the first time in 15 years I've been on *any* type of antibiotic so I'm not sure I'd even know if I was allergic to any. My mom did tell me I used to take amoxicillin when I was a kid and never had any reactions (although I did develop a skin reaction to a Sulpha drug in the past) Since Wednesday I've taken seven 250 mg doses.
Hi, her symptoms are suggestive of allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Usually with previous exposure it will not cause any reaction. Any subsequent use can trigger the reaction. The reaction which is seen is anaphylactic and late serum sickness type of reaction. This is actually an emergency condition you should take her to the hospital esp. if there is breathing difficulty.
She should be managed by anti-histaminic and steroids which take care of the allergic symptoms.
It could be a reaction. 2 of my kids are allergic to amoxicillin and in both cases symptoms did not show until after taking the meds for over 1 week. They broke out in hives.
I would not have your daughter take another dose before speaking to her doctor. It's best to have benadryl on hand as a precaution. Watch for signs of any signs of breathing difficulty, in which case call 911.
The rash might be completely unrelated, but better to be prepared in case it is an allergy. Good luck.
would that change your answer or would that not be an std either?? is it maybe an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin or have u ever heard of anybody being allergic to the acyclovir??
Sorry to hear about this!
Does your MD know you are taking the sleep meds? If he doesn't, then he wouldn't know if the itching is caused by conflicting meds. You could ask your pharmacist, but s/he might just tell you to ask your MD anyway. It's worth finding out to avoid an unwanted drug interaction.
