i am allergic to antibiotics... i was just wondering is anything happens to me and the docs want to give me penicilin or something and i am unconcious, then what will i do. ive been told if i have enough of it it will kill me. is there anything i can do to prevent being treated with antibiotics.
also, when im poorly i obviously cant take anything but paracetamol, i was just wondering if there is an alternative out there that i could take?
thanks.

im allergic to all types of antibiotics (the ones i have tried anyway) and i can take paracetamol and pain killer, but it always takes ages for me to recover from infections and things.

excuse me... youre telling me to get educated, read the question? if i am in a car crash or something like that then they would give antibiotics to stop infection if anything has happened. do not answer peoples questions if you are going to be like that thank you very much

You should get a medic alert bracelet: http://www.medicalert.org.uk/lifesaving.asp
You can get them for allergies, and emergency staff always look for them before treating you. This will make sure they don't treat you with anything you are allergic to.

Are you quite sure that you are allergic to ALL antibiotics? If you are, then you could have problems.
There are medical allert bracelets that you can wear which state your allergies on them.
If you actually are allergic to ALL antibiotics, then you might consider getting a tatoo somewhere obvious stating this fact.

Are you fairly advantageous which you're allergic to ALL antibiotics? in case you're, then you quite will have issues. There are scientific allert bracelets which you would be able to positioned on which state your hypersensitive reactions on them. in case you definitely are allergic to ALL antibiotics, then you quite might evaluate getting a tatoo someplace obvious pointing out this fact.

This is a very dumb question! Why would anybody administer antibiotics to you if you lose consciousness? Plus, there are so many antibiotics that you don't know about - broad spectrum, for gram positive infections, gram negative infections. A lot of them are not penicillin based, e.g. erythromicin based, etc. You can't be allergic to all of them! Get educated woman!

maybe you should carry a medical warning card in your wallet, ask your surgery about them, there are other antibiotics which arent penicillin and you maybe ok with them, painkillers dont usually contain antibiotics so you could check with the pharmacy which they recommend instead of paracetamol

MY daughter is in the same stiuation. She breaks out in hives as large an a fully inflated balloon, and itches like crazy. You will have to tell your doctor(to remind him) and tell any other doctor you may encounter. Her doctor wrote it on the front of her folder in his office and at the hospital. She wears the alert necklace. They are not expensive and you should get either the necklace or braclet.

have your doctor do an allergic reaction test to see which medications are you allergic too
