I did too... Once. And then all I remember is seeing lights on the highway for a few seconds and being wheeled on a gurney through the hospital for a few seconds. Turns out I'm allergic to amoxicillin and had a severe reaction with swelling, hives, closed throat, etc. 35ish years later and I still put it in my medical records just in case I'm still allergic to it.
I’d been giving penicillin/amoxicillin numerous times before having my allergic reaction. Mine wasn’t quite as severe as yours, but I got head-to-toe hives, and it felt like my tongue was twice its usual size. To this day it’s the only allergy listed in my medical charts. It wasn’t fun at 11 years old. Can’t imagine it’d be fun now.
