Can you tell me how is being allergic to pencillin going to affect my life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medic alert: Be sure that the exact nature of the reaction is well documented in your medical record . Some people wear a medic alert bracelet to warn clinicians in case you become unable to inform. Fortunately there are many alternative antibiotics for almost every condition and temporary desensitization can be performed. Additionally Penicillin allergy can fade with time and testing can be done.
