A member asked:
If i had a reaction to penicillin when i was a child , does that mean i have a allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe,maybe not: There have been studies of adults that were told or thought they had reactions to penicillin as children & the majority were not allergic on testing. Until you decide to have the testing done, you should consider yourself allergic & have it listed in your records.
