All About Allergies

Tango asked:


So the dentist gave me four Valium to help with the anxiety before a root canal, but I am a medicine phobe and hate taking anything for any reason really.

So my question is how likely is it for someone to have an allergic reaction to diazepam / Valium? I know that Valium has been around for a really long time and people take it in excess of 30 years with no physical side effects aside from addiction and dependence. I’m still concerned though. Thanks!

I always wondered this. For example, if a person is allergic to penicillin and they take a medicine that is penicillin based, will the antibiotic still kill off the infection (though there may be a reaction)? Obviously, it’s not a wise thing to do, but if a a drug causes an allergic reaction will it also render it useless for its original purpose? Thank you!

I had an allergic reaction to scallops. I recall eating them as a child but for some reason I got sick Thursday. The only thing the doctor did was write me a prescription for a steroid. I have been taking them but I am still itching off and on and I just don’t feel well. Should I go back to see a doctor?

I’m getting my first tattoo tomorrow, but I’m worried about an allergic reaction. The primary color of the tattoo is going to be red, which I’ve heard is the most likely to cause a reaction. I can handle a reaction if it occurs, but what I’m worried about is damaging the tattoo. If a reaction does occur, will it ruin the tattoo?

My 8 yr old son was diagnosed with strep throat 9 days ago and has been taking amoxicillin ever since. This morning he woke up with a rash on his face and neck. He doesn’t have a fever or any other symptoms and he says the rash doesn’t itch. Could it be an allergic reaction or would that have itself before now if he were allergic?
