Taken amoxicillin in the past with no issues. on it now for strep. how likely is it that i will develop an allergy or anaphylaxis? i've taken 3 doses.

Unlikely: If any reaction, would be mild not anaphylaxis, at any rate, if any reaction happens, stop the drug, take antihistamines and call your doctor
