Antibiotic allergy: The doctor whose care you are under and knows your entire medical and dental history can discuss this with you and find an appropriate antibiotic to prescribe. It's more complicated than just going down a list of next possible antibiotic to prescribe.

There are more : There are more choices for you but you need to return to your doctor. Now you need to discuss with your doctor the reaction you are having. The doctor can choose another antibiotic that will work well for you and you will hopefully tolerate
