I'm allergic to most antibiotics. do i need to be extra careful to prevent injuries in the future?

Yes: It is important that the allergies are confirmed by a specialist doctor, because some of the allergic reactions (not ige mediated) might allow a graded challenge. We advise patients to carry a medical alert bracelet or necklace, in case the patient is in emergent care an unable to provide history.

Never a bad idea: Preventing injuries, i mean. Perhaps your question is what antibiotic can be used when needed. There are less commonly used antibiotics. Tetracyclines, clindamycin, metronidazole, rifampin, are a few. Many people who believe themselves allergic to penicillin are not. An allergist can perform testing for you. Even when allergic oral desensitization can be used safely with proper precautiions.
