Amoxicillin Allergy Symptoms




Amoxicillin is belongs to the penicillin family of antibiotics. Allergic reaction to amoxicillin is quite common. Amoxicillin allergy symptoms appear when your immune system mistakenly has an idea that it is bad for your health. Hence histamine is released to fight it which results in allergic reactions.

In almost all the cases it is seen that Amoxicillin allergy symptoms occur within an hour of taking the tablet. The symptoms often take the form of skin reactions and can range from mild to severe depending upon the patient’s ability to fight the allergen. In some unfortunate instances Amoxicillin allergy symptoms can become very serious and even life threatening. This kind of allergic reaction is called Anaphylaxis.

The most common symptoms of Amoxicillin allergy are:

  • Itchy Hives
  • Redness and swelling in different areas of the skin
  • Itchy and watery eyes
  • Nasal congestion
  • Wheezing
  • Swelling of lips, mouth and tongue
  • Allergic asthma

People experiencing Amoxicillin allergy symptoms suffer from one or two these symptoms generally but in cases of severe reactions they may experience the majority of these symptoms resulting in great distress.

However, there are a few people who are extremely allergic to Amoxicillin. These people have the risk of suffering from a life threatening allergic condition known as Anaphylaxis if they ever take Amoxicillin.

When Amoxicillin allergy symptoms are not limited to the common symptoms and instead anaphylactic reactions start to occur, medical help should be sought immediately. Anaphylaxis usually occurs within an hour of ingesting Amoxicillin and affects a number of bodily functions including the cardiovascular function also.

The symptoms of Anaphylaxis are:

  • Swelling of tongue, mouth, throat and the other airways to the lungs. Hence the patient is unable to breathe properly
  • Drop in blood pressure level
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Feeling of numbness
  • Dizziness
  • Rapid pulse
