Desensitization: This is known as multiple drug sensitivity syndrome. However i strongly urge you to consult an allergist who will likely give you guidance on what abx you may be able to tolerate. I have had good success with many patients with your kind of problem and am sure my fellow-allergists can do the job just as well if not better.
