DD has been on prophlactic antibiotics since Jan for Uti's. In the last 2 months she has had 4 utis and has been moving between 2 different antibiotics. About 4 weeks ago she started having a rash across her face which is an allergy rash, she has also had swollen face, lips, eyes tongue and been in hospital twice with it. We have been perscribed an epipen and have an allergy appointment but not till October. The hospital believe it is a food allerrgy. However my gp thinks she is allergic to the antibiotic so has took her off them (She hasent had a flare up of the rash since she stopped them on Monday). However the hospital have rang today as she has another uti and have poo pooed what the gp said and advised me to take their advice, they have however changed her to penicillin.
I am now confused and dont know who to believe or what to do.
