Antibiotics

[RobynB1989 0]

I have a question - did anyone on here have an allergic reaction to antibiotics that you were given during or after surgery? I am asking this because I am allergic to a list of antibotics that is a mile long, and I am worried that they will give me one that I havent had before and I will have an allergic reaction to it.

You need to give a full disclosure of everything you are allergic to and then you will have no problems. I carry a list of all my medications and list of things I am allergic to so I don't forget. For example..surgical tape of all things is one them so they have to use special tape on me or I break out. So they document it and then I have no problems. Just don't forget "your list" and you will be fine! Take care and good luck!

I am allergic to penecillan so first thing when I get to hospital I am banded with a bright red alert band on my wrist! Well this scares them all. They were very careful about what they gave me. Actually I was being wheeled to the operating room and the anesthesiologist came down hall and said - "what is everyone scared to start her antibiotics" and she did it herself. So they will more than likely be overly cautious. Good luck to you!
