How likely is getting a waiver for my penicillin allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Penicillin allergy: This all depends on your history of penicillin allergy. Get an evaluation by allergist, who considers your past medical history, and if necessary, penicillin testing. Both blood and skin tests are available. Please sort this out before getting sick. Given all the infections that respond to penicillins, cephalosporins. An oz of prevention is better > another, less effective antibiotic.
