Yes. My doctor told me that anything you experience like hives, a rash, tightning of chest [anaflactic shock], convlusions, shakes, heart feeling like its going to stop are signs that you may be allergic to the medication.

Yes, it is very possible. I was given a shot of it and some pills for a kidney and bladder infection and I ended up with a ichy rash all over my legs. I kept going to the doc. and they couldnt figure it out so they gave me more, which made it worse. I couldnt take any more of the iching and decided to stop takeing it since it wasnt helping. Within a week it went a way. Good luck. Tell the doc. and from now on when they ask if you are allergic to any thing be sure to tell them. The more you are exposed to it the worse it gets.

yes, you should contact your doctor asap. I'm allergic to penecillin. there are other antibiotics that work great.

Yes - you could be - but it aslo could be from other causes - you need to check and see if you started using any new face cream - make-up - soap - shampoo - detergent - etc !@~

Discontinue the Penicillin. You should probably take bactrim or Amoxicillin instead.
