How rare is a bad allergic reaction to amoxicillin, like life threatening such as anyphilaxis? should i be concerned? scared to take my first dose?

Allergic reaction to amoxicillin can be fatal. Have your doctor know of your concerns, past history and be tested for possible allergy or change in medication. If no known past reactions, than you should be able to take this drug.
