A member asked:

I am taking amoxicillin (liquid) which my boyfriend is allergic to. should i be careful of kissing or anything?

You are unlikely to hurt him by kissing him though you are on amoxycillin. Your urine may also smell differently.

It would be a good idea to not kiss him in the next few minutes after each dose. Otherwise no worries.

Dr Davantzis and another doctor agreed
