I've had allergic reactions to antibiotic injections and tablets since 2007 when I took claribid for a lung allergy. Even after allergy tests showed only some antibiotics as problematic, others that should be safe still give me skin rashes. Now I need surgery but I'm worried about the required antibiotics - what options do I have?

Could this be a sign of something more serious, or just a typical allergic reaction? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm really struggling with sneezing and a blocked nose, and it's been going on for almost three years. I got an allergy test done and have been using Duonase Nasal Spray for nearly two years, but I haven't found any relief. Do you have any suggestions for other treatments or solutions that might help?
