    I do vaguely remember something like that, but barely lol. Naw I was referring to fishmox.

    It can definitely be done, I’ve done it with fishmox lol. Source: poor, but own a calculator.

    As for the amoxicilin, my mom has a penicilin allergy and they give it to her iirc, and they always give it to me rather than allergy test me, so, idk? That’s what I was always told but doctors can lie and/or be wrong, I’ll have to look into it for curiosity’s sake now.

    Edit: google said “if you think you have a penicillin allergy, you probably don’t. And if it’s been more than 10yr, it’s probably gone by now.”

    That may explain it haha.

      Penicillin allergies are fairly common, but vary widely in severity. Also, some people get side effects from medications but report them as allergies. If you get a rash, swelling, tingling, or difficulty breathing, those are early signs of anaphylaxis.

      Amoxicillin is one of many forms of Penicillin, so if you are actually allergic to any Penicillin, you are actually allergic to every Penicillin.
