I looked up the name of my antibiotic - it's not penicillin based. It's Sulfamethoxazole, which is a sulfonamide antibiotic. Common allergic reactions to this drug is a skin rash, and there are no reliable tests for allergy to these antibiotics. Doctors must rely on the patients memory about when and how these drugs were taken, whether it was in combination with other drugs, how long after the dose the symptoms developed, and what other medications were being used at the same time, including non-prescription items such as vitamins,
So it looks like I'm not allergic to penicillin. Why didn't I look this up before?
