Penicilimine for kids with allergies to penicillin?

[Guest guest]

My DAN doctor said Penicilimine is a distant cousin to penicillin & that to

discontinue if a rash appears.

My son had about 3 rounds of penicillin (back to back) when he got his first

ear infection at 14 months. He didn't break out into a rash until the last

round. After that he was prescribed azithromycin wihout any rash. In the

coming year, up until he was almost three years old, he probably got 8 more

rounds of azithromycin.

My son hasn't had any antibiotics since before his third birthday and he is now

five and one month, except for one round of vancomycin for a C. Diff. Infection

this past May.

I am wondering if anyone knows of other kids who had reactions with penicillin

and did okay with penicillimine? Also if there is a reaction, is it life

threatening?

Thanks in advance.
