I'm soo scared for her..

Answer 1

hey there! im allergic to it too. Dont worry shes not gonna die!! just might be a lil unwell for a while! she'll be ok! She just needs your love and support :)

Answer 2

Hi honey, you don't say what form the reaction took. I would imagine if it was anaphalaxis then she is in hospital now and with the right treatment she should recover well.

If the reaction was mild then she really should inform the doctor as the next time it could be more serious. The doctor will then tell her if she has an allergy.

Either way she would need to inform all prescribing professionals inc. dentists and opticians that she has this allergy.

Many people are allergic to Penicillin including myself (anaphalaxis) and it rarely if ever causes problems. It is not found in any form other than prescribed medication.

Try and relax I know it's easier said than done x

Answer 3

If she's being treated for it, then she should be fine, though it may take a week or two to recover.  

Answer 4

she wont die (hopefully!)

it depends how allergic she is to it

my friend is allergic to it he jus gets swolen glands

Answer 5

She is not going to dye don't worry, people get allergic reacts to it all the time (Ok so it's not that common but it happens), leave it all to the doctors and everything will be fine.
