I was prescribed penicillin (dicloxacillin 500mg) for mastitis. I woke up at 3am with my right eye swollen shut and the other one not far behind it. I look insane. I called my doc and he said to take benedryl. I've taken four so farand my eyes are slightly better. Now, the other thing is that I have a cat who cuddles with me at night. At first I though I had cat hairs in my eyes, but I've never had a reaction quite like this before...
So, could I have developed an adult allergy to penicillan or is the puffy eye situation just a coincidence? Any personal experiences similar to mine?
