Penicillin Reactions

Does this sound like a normal reaction or intolerance or possible allergy?

A few months back he had a course of Amoxicillin (sorry spelling is prolly wrong there) and after a couple of days he had bad vomiting and diahorea. I thought this was just part of him being sick but when he went back to the docs as I got concerned he said ditch the anti's and within a day it stopped.

We were given Augmentin to help Daniel get better. He had one dose last night, one this morning now he has very runny poos and has had 3 dirty nappies in a row (he usually has one a day). So I've stopped giving it to him given his reaction to the amox. I don't want to go down that road.

MIL has a penicillin allergy, she goes into anaphalyxus shock. And i THINK that BIL has it too. But one of my docs said penicillian allergy is not heriditary.

I'm just curious if this is like a common reaction to penicillin based antibiotics or not

I think he has had a reaction to it. Is he going to be ok for his birthday on Saturday???

I know an adult who is allergic to penicillin - his words, I don't know what that exactly means for him but he's qualified in radiology so I'd say that he's probably med enough that if he says allergic, he's allergic.

im allergic to amoxycillian and heaps of the sister drugs to it and come out in what look like itchy bites that are so itchy. I was told i will need to be very careful with and of these with Josh as he could be the same and because he is little the reaction could be worse with him.

Allergic reactions to drugs can vary a lot from person to person although in my non medical opinion runny poos sounds more like an intolerance which i hope he grows out of as i have had so many doctors tell me its the best drug for treating different things i even had one doctor ask if i would put up with the itchyness even tho the more i took the worse it got stupid stupid doctor

I was wondering the same thing about my daughter. She had a patch of infected eczema on her arm and the doc gave her flucloxacillin ( not sure if I spelt that right). I gave her 2.5ml mid afternoon and she seemed fine but later that night her skin flared up, she was really itchy and very agitated. We could not get her down to sleep. I rang the doc the next day and they said there was no way they could tell if that was a reaction to the antibiotic. I was too scared to give her anymore, as she is quite an allergic baby.

I come out in hives too when i took penicillin, it happened after my neice was born because i was so run down from lack of sleep i got tonsilitis (sp?), and they gave me penicillin and man did i look like crap. So i say no to it now and i think its on my record at my dr?
