Pills and Medication
According to the UK’s National Health Service Web site up to 1 in 15 of us can get an allergic reaction to antibiotics.
The symptoms of these allergic reactions can include:-
- Hives ( a raised skin rash)
- Wheezing and coughing
- A tightness of the throat which may lead to some breathing difficulties
The objective of this blog post is two fold . Firstly to find out what percentage of our readers have suffered an allergic reaction to antibiotics. Secondly to ask our readers to share their stories about these allergic reactions with other readers. The sorts of things we are interested in are:-
- What was the original problem which lead you to take antibiotics?
- What were the symptoms of the allergic reaction?
- How did you treat the allergic reaction to antibiotics?
- What alternatives to the antibiotics do you use these days?

Many thanks in advance!
