    I can't rmemeber exactly but the first and last time I had it, I got a red rash all over my entire body; except for my face. i dont remember much else as i was already in hospital and it was 11 years ago i just remember the really itchy rash.

    tan the AB's should come with instruction, read that and see if it states what the symptoms could be

    It said thats a possible reaction, but not necessarily an allergy, i rang the pharmacy they said it could be, so i dunno.

    Either way he is dehydrated because he drinks and then throws it all back up. So we'll see what the dr says.

    Jett is allergic to penicillan.

    He got vomitting, runny stools and a spotty rash. The rash was the dead giveaway of an allergy. I took him to the ER and they said it was definately an allergy and to never give him penicillan again.

    Keep an eye out for the rash - I took three days on an IV drip for mine to come up, and it wasn't flaring until day 7 (well least it wasnt until then they realised something was wrong)
