headache

Less than one minute read time.

I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was given on Monday! I woke up Tuesday morning with the most horrendous headache and a rash from top to toe. I know I am allergic to erithromycin and can now add penicillin to that list too.  I havent had antibiotics many times in my life so I think thats why this is only becoming apparent now...it never ends does it!!

So its now Thursday and I still have a headache and I went to my GP this morning who didnt seem too worried but neither did she give me new antibiotics?? She said my chest sounded fine but I dont know. I dont feel great today but that might just be a combination of this headache, treatment yesterday and maybe the fact I didnt get the news I wanted about my reconstruction.

I will leave that for another day though as I am bored of it all now.

  • I'm allergic to penicillin too so I do sympathise. (I blow up like a balloon as well as the rash!) I don't know much (if anything!) about these drugs but I was led to believe that penicillin is the 'strongest' one available so it is a shame they can't use it. I am surprised the doc didn't prescribe an alternative. Hope you're feeling better.

  • Hi Chrissi

    My son is allergic to penicillin too. He has been prescribed an alternative in the past.

    Ask your Doc for somethink else if your symptoms persist.
