Many people who report penicillin allergy is not true allergies. They may have had a reaction to penicillin, such as some types of eczema, but not all reactions are allergies. Symptoms of penicillin allergy are:
Hives
Eruption
Itching skin
Whistle
Lips, tongue or face (angioedema)
Anaphylactic
The most severe allergic reactions to penicillin is an anaphylactic (an-uh-LAK-tik-FUH) response, which can be fatal. Anaphylactic reactions develop immediately after exposure to penicillin in people sensitive. Signs and symptoms include:
Difficulty breathing
Whistle
Reduced pressure
Swelling of the throat or tongue
Dizziness
Coma
Weak and rapid pulse
When to see a doctor
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you or anyone else is having an anaphylactic reaction.
If you have less severe reactions after taking penicillin, tell your doctor. If possible, ask your doctor when the allergic reaction. This will help make a diagnosis.
