Correct: In fact, ampicillin, if given to patients with infectious mononucleosis, can produce a rash which will leave the person labeled as "allergic to penicillin" even if they are not. Antibiotics have no effect against ebv and can produce major complications. Listen to your doctor. They sound as if they are very good and know what they are doing.

For the past 2-3 weeks I have had unusual chills. I have no fever, no aches or other symptoms and I don't feel too bad. I do work out pretty often and thought it might be slight hydration. My local doctor put me on an antibiotic for 7 days- 500mg of Levaquin. it seemed to help with the chills a little, but it seems they have gotten worse. I was wondering If I should go back to the doctor and have blood/urine collected, etc. Consistent Chills?
