Other antibiotics: depends on the bacteria that you have got, your doctor can prescribe other antibiotics, hopefully won't cause you an allergic reaction, if an antibiotic is badly needed and no other alternative is available, you can still have it in consultation with an allergist for a process called desensitization, but that's rarely resorted to, good luck
