Amoxicillin Allergy Trials
From Guide to YKHC Medical Practices
Amoxicillin allergy is rarely a true allergy. Get more information about what the reaction was, at what age it occurred, look at telemed pictures if you can, consult a pediatrician if they are little, and consider amoxicillin challenge in the village OR bring them to clinic in Bethel for this. Over 90% of the time, there was not a true allergy; often, the flag was put on EMR because a parent reported a history of rash or hives that was not really hives OR it was imported from our old medical record system and was not validated.
