Fear of Drinking Drugs - About three months ago I had a throat infection. I consult with a doctor and get antibiotics amoxicillin and fever medications. After a day taking medication, my body itching and redness in the skin bumps arise. Skin disorder increases and my eyes began to itch. I suspect is caused by an allergy medication so that afternoon I went back to consult with a physician. Drugs that I eat all stopped and I have a drug to cope with allergies.
After three days, the redness in the skin to be abated. According to doctors, I was quite severe allergic reactions because it involves abnormalities in the eyes and mouth. Doctors suspect I am allergic to amoxicillin. Doctors also gave a statement to me in the future do not get back amoxicillin drug.
The events of this drug allergies cause anxiety in me to take medicine. If I were sick, for example arising aches or fever, I just sleep and drink plenty. I am worried about the possibility of allergies to other drugs than amoxicillin. In fact, according to doctors, I should take medication because I had a fever relievers are often given drugs and never have an allergic reaction.
Is allergy medications can only occur on one drug alone or may also in some kind of drug? Is there any way of estimating a drug will cause an allergic reaction so I can avoid. Does a person suffering from allergies such as asthma, allergies will experience when taking medicine?

Often times people think, if there is an allergy drug, the reaction was caused by incorrect administration of drugs. This opinion is not correct.

Doctors should be able to decide whether the benefits of drug administration will be greater than the risks that will arise. To reduce the risk of drug allergy, drug use must be rational. That is, it should be obvious consideration is whether the drug should be used.
The use of antibiotics for infections caused by viruses, for example, should be avoided because antibiotics can not kill viruses. The use of antibiotics can be given if a virus infection is accompanied by complications of bacterial infections. Before using the drug should be recalled if the patient had experienced an allergic drug.
Your doctor has given medication allergies certificate, a certificate is a valuable information for the drug is not used anymore. Drugs that have caused an allergic reaction should be avoided wherever possible and replaced its use with other drugs.
Besides a history of drug use may also be allergic to the drug test. However, only a few types of drugs that can be tested through this allergy test because results can not be used to predict whether an allergic reaction will occur. Most of the types of drugs can not be tested with an allergy test. Although a positive allergy test results, for example, if drug use was not an allergic reaction. Neither the contrary.
For drugs that are necessary and can not be replaced with other drugs, such as insulin, may be the administration of drugs with small doses and increased gradually as she monitored the possibility of allergies. If the drug dose is increased gradually to reach therapeutic doses, and the drug did not cause an allergic reaction, then the drug may be given.
