Nope!: According to the centers for disease control, trichomoniasis should be treated with Metronidazole or tinidazole. Penicillin will not cure trichomoniasis.

You get better: If it's working your symptoms of infection should improve and eventually resolve. You don't state what infection is being treated.

No: I assume you took too many penicillin pills.
Penicillins have a very large dosage safety margin. We use extremely large doses in very ill patients. Even if you took 10 times the amount of penicillin or Ampicillin that was prescribed, other than an increased risk of diarrhea or yeast infection you would be ok. Most penicillins are excreted by the kidneys renal failure pts.At risk for toxicity.
