Hives and itchy ( Amoxicillin)
by Cliff190, Mar 31, 2008 12:20AM
I took Amoxicillin for a bad chest and nose cold three months ago. I had a bad allergic reaction and stopped taking Amoxicillin. I cleared up a two weeks later but I would break out still in small doses more commonly at night. Still three months later I break out from hives and begin to itch all through out the day. Does a Amoxicillin reaction also cause food allergies? I am eating the same food as I did after the Amoxicillin reaction and have been trying to find the source of these outbreaks. Soap, laundry detergent, types of food? Or does Amoxicillin even cause your body to develop new allergies?
