Not sure: Many types of adverse reaction occur with antibiotics. Worrisome reactions occur after your body produces antibody against a drug (requiring prior exposure) or severe delayed reactions that may involve rash, liver damage, joint destruction etc. Most adverse reactions are not immune-mediated. Its very abnormal to have true allergy to many antibiotics. See an allergist willing to provide answers
