I have developed an allergy to penicillin. Aaaargh!
Two weeks into the treatment for the sinus infection I began having first an itch (not too big a problem) then hives. I was realllly itchy this afternoon. Then, as I was getting ready to pop into the shower I noticed the telltale pink splotches and hives it is. I'm to take Benadryl and Zyrtec and hope that that works. Just in case, He called in a prescription for prednizone. One of the possible side effects of the pred is weight gain. There are tons of others, of course.
You take one drug to get rid of the condition, then another to get rid of a condition caused by that drug. There is a lesson to be learned her somewhere.
In the meantime, I may be a splotchy mess for a while.

Much sympathy. I haven't got the penicillin allergy, but my kids do. Zithromax is our antibiotic of choice. Time to consume a lot of yogurt & grapefruit seed extract.
I hope you recover soon!
