Hello Madam

The situation that you describe must be quickly taken care of: call the pharmacy to inform them and you will have to consult a doctor to

1- evaluate the need to continue the treatment of the ear infection

2- evaluate the extent of the reaction described.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Thank you, I am waiting for the return call from my pharmacist... I made an appointment for a telephone consultation with the Dialogue application in the morning to get something other than amoxicillin.

My pharmacist tells me to give her benadryl along with her antibiotic I rarely contradict the advice of specialists but am I correct in wanting to wait for the advice of IPS in a phone appointment of this pm of however she prescribes me something else?

Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry for the delay I didn't see the notification!

I cannot comment on the information provided by your pharmacist as his information gathering was probably more complete than mine. I would like to reassure you however that Benadryl and amoxicillin are compatible and a common practice.
