    Even though my 22 month old doesn't have a history of medicine allergy, thats because she hasnt had any antibiotics entered into her system as of yet. There is a big family history of allergy reactions to antibiotics, that was made very clear to gp upon perscripton given after examination, but laterthat day examined by a peadatricain revealled my daughter had no sign of infection on her chest so the treatment of antibiotics was uneccessary needed, i could of harmed my daughter as possibilty of anaphalaxia. Glad i listen to my instincts as a mum otherwise i may not have a little girl now to attend to.
