Allergy ?: You may be allergic to the medication. It would be prudent to be tested by an allergist for your sensitivity to the amoxicillin. What might be a minor reaction now could be anaphylactic shock the next time you take it. Your body appears to be telling you something.

Call your doctor: Amoxicillin may cause a serious allergic reaction or even anaphylaxis. If you have a swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes, face, shortness of breath, trouble with breathing or swallowing call 911.
