Common Questions and Answers about Penicillin allergy rash duration
rash
Yeas ago, my son (3 years at the time, 33 years ago) was sick with a bad cold. The doctor put him on a penicillin type antiobiotic. The next day he developed a rash, so the doctor thinking that it was an allergic reaction, changed his drug to erythromycin.
The next morning, my son had lots of redness and swollen eyes. I rushed him to another doctor who immediately gave him a shot of a penicillin derivative and put him back on the penicillin type drug.
Penicillin is the most used remedy for syphilis, except in those people who have any kind of allergy to this antibiotic. They wouldn't have given them to you if they were not useful. Follow their instructions closely, and go periodically to talk to them as they may want to test you again to see how the infection is oing on.
All the best.
about 6 months) During the middle of the treatment, the red rash has been cleared up. However, a few days after the end of the penicillin treatment, the red rashes appear again in my thighs while some on-and-off appearance on my front arm. (mostly appear when I sweat and feel hot, may disappear or subside when cool down). I am so scared and can't wait until the re-test after one month. Could anybody give me some advice?? What should be expected after the treatment of penicillin?
The symptoms he describes and the difficulty he was having finding a cure are very similar to the fixed drug reactions I have suffered for years from penicillin and sulfa drugs. An intense rash on my genitals and penis.
I would venture a guess that it was not the terciseptic that was causing the rash but an allergic reaction to penicillin. How is this possible when he doesn't say he took this drug? It is possible because this drug is in commercial meat and dairy products.
The ONLY recommended treatment for syphilis more than a year in duration is long-acting penicillin by injection, 3 doses a week apart. Also, many patients should have a spinal tap to check for infection in the central nervous system (neurosyphilis), since the long acting form of penicillin does not reliably cure neurosyphilis.
It would be of interest to know the tiger (strength) of your positive blood test. Do you have that information.
my 1 year old little boy has a really bad nappy rash. is this due to him take amoxicillin? i am worried its an allergy.
sounds like an allergic reaction to the penicillin. I too have an allergy to that, and that's similar to the symptoms I used to have while taking it. do you ever feel sick after it?
As you have a history of penicillin allergy. If your body is hypersensitive to sulfa, reaction will be similar to that you develop for penicillin.
Each individual are known to respond to a drug differently in drug allergy. If the drug is too much sensitized then it can cause more severe reaction.
to charge higher prices. As far as the allergy is concerned, since there is trace amounts of penicillin in the eggs, your advice is well received and we will check to see if she has a general allergy to eggs.
However penicillin allergy itself is very dangerous. Even if it causes mild reaction at the first dose, subsequent doses’ cumulative anaphylaxis is itself life threatening. Today there are many alternatives to penicillin.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage without further details. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I actually had a conversation with a pharmacist about this exact thing just last week. He developed his allergy to penicillin when he was in his 50's. He'd taken it many, many times prior. Does your boyfriend's symptoms improve with antihistamines? Have him take two benadryl and see if there is even the slightest relief. Also, perhaps celiac disease. Does he have any digestive difficulties?
Hi, it may be because you are hypersensitive to beta lactums (penicillin, cephalosporin like cephalexin) and it is known to cause skin rash, blistering, swelling and itching in susceptible individuals and you should better avoid this drug including penicillins in future and should go for other alternatives.
If it is allergy, it can be managed by using of appropriate anti-histaminic and steroids after consultation from physician.
Hi! My 11yo has a rash on her bottom that doctors think is a strep infection since august(strep b). We have been on amoxicillin penicillin and azithromyacin with no cure. It doesn't hurt her. She also was complaining of stomach aches since August. She constantly gets canker sores and now has what looks like a cold sore on her lip that isn't healing. Could she be allergic to something? I'm lost as to where to go from here.
