Would you give anti-biotics to your kid if you were allergic?

[Doing my best]

Thank you all..

My children don't react to it (just me at moment). But I was able to have penecillian when I was younger, so I always keep a close eye on them when they have it.

My friend came by and she administered it for me.. After that small amount, I wasn't prepared to risk it..

And yep, I found some polarmine in the cupboard (but I was eyeing of the children's version in the fridge if I didn't find any in the medicine cabinet..)

Its okay to give a couple of hours late.

And definitely as for something other than a penicillin based next time, they are available and work just as effective.

I use amoxicillin or erythramycin. DH was allergic to penicillin as a baby, so I didn't risk it. All have had it at some stage, but DD1 we've now found out is allergic to erythramycin, so we steer clear of that one for her.
We were lucky though, it was just a rash with her allergy, nothing more serious.
