Amoxicillin Allergy
« on: January 02, 2012, 12:18:29 PM »
I've been on amoxicillin for 8 days for a sinus infection (I've taken it before but have not needed antibiotic for many years).  This morning I wake to a rash from my jaw bone to my ankles!  Most of it on my trunk.  Called the doctor and got checked and sure enough - an allergy for me.  Gee thanks.  What a way to start the year.

Not a great way to start the new year.  :-/  I hope you're feeling better now.

The itching is making me crazy and grumpy!  Benedryl makes me too sleepy so I'm not taking anything right now.
