It : It is not uncommon for people to develope allergies toward the end of a course of antibiotics. Your story is fairly typical. Your daughter has had a pretty bad allergic reaction to penicillin and should never get penicillin or Amoxicillin ever again.

Hives w/ Penicillin: Hives with penicillin occurs in about 2% of people. If your daughter only had hives and no other symptoms, it could be allergy or it could be hives as a reaction to the infection. However, with the eye swelling, i lean more toward a true allergy. If a definitive answer is required, skin tests for penicillin and it's derivatives can be performed by an allergist.

Here are some...: At doubting possible drug-related allergy, stop such drug, report the suspicion to the prescribing doctor, and go to be evaluated if the Rx for the intended illness is adequate.

Mgt: In addition to a possible allergic reaction, I would also suggest ruling out an infection of the eye.
