So if you suddenly have an allergy to antibiotics, what happens next time you have toothache/a sore throat/ want another baby?

I am really worried about it.

I've been told I can't have antibiotics any more - certainly not the broad spectrum ones, and preferably none at all.

I have had a lot of dental problems in the past which have required their use, though this has eased off recently. But I also wanted, at some stage in my life, to have another baby.

I know this doesn't necessarily mean I'll need a/b's but of course anything you do that puts your body under strain can make it more likely.

So is anyone else in this situation, and if so what do you do if you are actually ill and need to take something?

Can you take milder versions, different sorts, etc - please tell me to stop panicking as I am only 34 and a bit scared I'll just have to suffer next time I have some illness.

I've had an allergy all my life (well reacted at first exposure) my father is allergic too.

Flight - I had a mild reaction as a child (probably through overuse) and then a worse one in my teens. I just avoid it now - don't have an epipen or anything. Penicillin allergy is very common.

Thanks for telling me. I feel a bit less alone now.

there will be a brand u can take - i have hqd baby and surgery and teeth out and no antibiotics- take honey and lemon for a sore throat -gen up on alternatives they DO work..

stay clear of aspirin likely if u sensitive u will have a reaction - check out allergy uk for drugs that u can take
