Im allegric to pencillin

Question

I'm allergic to penicillin i took amoxicilin and i got a allergic reaction hives and itchy skin rashes on my side of my cheeks i have a wedding in less then a week what can i put on it to ease the hives away and make it go away?

Answer 1

they go away within days for me. i think the longest i've had hives from my allergic reaction to antibiotics was 3 days. but everyone's different. i doubt you'd have them very long though.

take some benadryl or zyrtec and take it easy for a while

Answer 2

Ask your doctor.  When I get hives I take Benadryl non drowsy.  It still makes me a little sleepy.  So if your doctor says it is something you can take try not to drive until you know how it affects you.

Answer 3

sweetie, first I want to assure you know amoxicilin is type of penicillin.. the doctor giving it to you knowing you have an allergy is bit suicidal..

be careful this allergic reaction may kill..

and to your question, don't worry, the hives will go away very fast, anti histamine in cream or tablet can always help it disappear faster.

enjoy the wedding and take care.
