why dose amoxicillin cause difficulty breathing ## Because you are allergic to it. Stop taking it immediately and see your doctor. Do you not read the patient information you receive with your meds at the pharmacy? It says if you suffer these types of symptoms, stop taking it and call your doctor as it IS AN ALLERGIC REACTION!

My daughters grandmother had taken omnicf - for a sinus infection... after taking this she has lost her sense of smell. It has been 10-months and still nothing. ## I had a terrible reaction to Ciprofloxin 15 yrs ago, and still carry the reminders in huge, red spots all over my legs. It caused a bone-deep itch that could not be reached, which lasted weeks. And after that, I was also allergic to sulfas. Cipro is a dangerous drug and should only be used as last-resort! It is a synthetically-produced one, and very strong. Oh, it cured my bronchitis, all right, but it left me permanent reminders of that illness! Good r...
