A member asked:
Can an allergist do testing to see if you are allergic to penicillin and sulfa drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : There are good, validated tests to penicillin. There are no commercially available tests to sulfonamides, but skin testing +/- oral challenge is still feasible. You should check with your allergist first.
