Antibiotics Side Effect #2: Allergies

Some people are allergic to antibiotics, and an antibiotic allergy can be a very serious thing. It’s important to let your doctor know if you’ve had any adverse reactions to drugs that you’ve taken in the past because that might help them choose a drug that you won’t be allergic to.

A mild allergy to an antibiotic will probably just result in something small, like a rash. However, you can develop a serious reaction, known as anaphylaxis, if you are extremely sensitive to the antibiotics. This can lead to shortness of breath, dizziness, fast heart rates and fainting.
