This is just a post for people who just developed this allergic reaction and don't know what to do. When this was happening to me I frantically looked for something that might tell me it was going to be ok so here goes:

STOP TAKING THE MEDS AND GO TO THE ER!! I waited all weekend and only took Benedryl, which didn't do anything as I was having a major skin rash that itched unbearably bad. Finally I went to the ER and got put on corteosteroids and a strong enough antihistimine to block the itching.

The rash doesn't itch at first so you think you're ok, then the 3rd day, YIKES, you want to crawl out of your skin. Go as soon as you get a reaction and save yourself some painful, sleepless, itchy nights.


Good luck! It takes about a week for the rash to go away. Never take penecillin meds again. Next time could KILL YOU.
