Amoxicillin Allergic Reaction

I was prescribed amox tr-k clv 875mg on March 2, 2015 and been on it 8 days. Took meds yesterday afternoon notice my inside of ears felt hot my inside of nose felt like a burning sensation and my arms felt hot. I called my pharmacy. They told me it usually takes a few days before an allergic reaction starts. I called my doctor she told me to take Benadryl.. I was wondering do I still need to be evaluated by a Doctor.

Hello, Vette77! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you had.

However, that doesn't really sound like an allergic reaction. That usually involves swelling, hives and itchy skin rash.

Typical side effects of this antibiotic, as listed by the FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

And yes, I think it would be best to have this checked out by your doctor to be sure what it was that you experienced. If it was an allergic reaction, you may need to stay away from this antibiotic in the future.

Is there anything else I can help with?
