It was scary, and we've avoided it altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-2126257 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 23:46:27 +0000 MrsRcCar 2126257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what happened twice. Two different antibiotics but safe kind of rash both times. Poor guy. </p> [attach=2880/15/nm0d9f.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2880/15/nm0d9g.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2880/15/nm0d9h.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-2126087 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 18:54:48 +0000 turquoisemama 2126087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got hives using penicillin as a child and have avoided it since. There have always been alternatives. I also had a reaction to Ceclor(cefaclor), so keep that in mind if they try to give you something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-2126045 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 17:19:12 +0000 LindsayInNY 2126045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember my reaction but I've always avoided amoxicillin to this day. Not chancing another reaction! There's always plenty of alternatives available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-2126013 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 16:25:59 +0000 stiletto_mom 2126013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it as a child and I remember I was taken to the hospital. I had a bad rash (I remember I could see it on my own skin when I looked down), but I can't remember if I had any other symptoms.</p> <p>I think I grew out of it though. I avoided amoxicillin all of my childhood. But when I was an adult, I'm pretty sure I was prescribed it, took it and had no negative effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-2126010 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 16:20:05 +0000 nana87 2126010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this old thread because we're dealing with this today! Lo was on day 8 of amoxicillin for an ear infection (her first)and woke up with a crazy rash today (also her first). Scary day, though she was acting totally fine and happy the whole time! Rashes freak me out though, seriously creepy to me. I'm glad to know it'll clear up soon! Dr gave us prednisolone and said to take Benadryl too, and I gave lo an oatmeal bath before bed. :(</p> <p>Any other experiences? </p> [attach=1484/15/nlzsq4.363x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428429 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 08:20:17 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1428429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I am allergic to penicillin and ammoxicillan. So is everyone in my family. Literally. </p> <p>My sister, brother and I get hives. My mom &amp; I have throat swelling. </p> <p>I've had to go to the ER for it! I was young so I don't remember what exactly happened or how long it took to improve. My sister &amp; brother gets hives for a day or two, though. </p> <p>It's scary! I'm afraid for if/when Chloe would ever need it. I hope your LO is ok ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428409 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 08:03:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 1428409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO reacted to Augmentin on day 7. It looked wicked, but it cleared within 2 days after stopping the medication. What took longer to clear was the slight shadowy/purple-y look that was left on her skin where the rash had been. I didn't notice it (the shadowy patches) about 6 days or so after the rash disappeared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428405 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 07:59:16 +0000 looch 1428405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, on day 9 of 10. It was gone in two days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428318 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 01:48:58 +0000 Sapphiresun 1428318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't have an allergy that I know of, but I do. It was about 3 days from what I remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428312 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 01:36:55 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1428312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little sister has an allergy to Amoxicillin and her rash cleared up pretty quickly, I want to say within days. No more than a week. Did they give Benadryl? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1428302 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 01:16:18 +0000 StbHisMrs 1428302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here, he was 5ish and had been on amox multiple times in his life. I want to say it cleared in less than a week with doses of benadryl. Hope she feels better soon . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1426110 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 09:43:25 +0000 KT326 1426110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here, the rash cleared up pretty quickly. I think by two days it was pretty much gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1426108 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 09:38:59 +0000 wheres_c 1426108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just went through that last week.<br /> I even posted an "identify this rash" thread.<br /> The urgent care doc prescribed a baby dose of benedryl and steriod. The rash cleared up very quickly and was completely gone in 3 days. </p> [attach=2346/14/n11kp0.600x450.20140209_121845.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1426096 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 09:31:14 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 1426096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lil' CB had the same reaction...on day 9/10 of his amoxicillin about a year ago. The reaction got worse before it got better, but I want to say it was gone within 3 days or so? i'm so sorry your LO is having such a hard time! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-allergy-anyone-dealt-with-it#post-1426086 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 09:21:34 +0000 Corduroy 1426086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got a rash Thursday night, day 9/10 of her course of amoxicillin. I took her to the doctor Friday and it was confirmed she had the classic symptoms and that this is different than the non-allergic rash she got last time she took amoxicillin. The doctor said it could take three weeks to go away. </p> <p>I feel very fortunate that it isn't a more serious anaphactic reaction but LO looks like hell. My in laws flew in last night from out of state for LO's birthday next week. I am so sad they don't get to spend time with their beautiful granddaughter. They're getting red, spotted, swollen, fussy baby. </p> <p>The reaction is still getting worse. I'd love to hear from anyone else how long it took from when their LO reacted until they started getting better. </p>
