Will i have a hypersensitive reaction to penicillin pills, if i've had a hypersensitive (but not allergic) reaction to the penicillin shot before?

Please define: When i say "hypersensitivity" i mean allergy. Please ask your question again describing what your hypersensitive reaction entailed.

Yes: Hypersensitivity is another word for allergy. If you had a reaction to a penicillin shot then stay away from the pills.
