I know this is an old conversation but I have a similar allergy and just want some clarification if possible. I tasted augmentin (Amoxicillin and clavanulate potassium) for about 3 days (my 9 year old was taking it for an infection), just to see if I was really allergic. The first time a small portion of my lip was swollen and itched for a short while.The second time no reaction just a funny feeling on my tongue and after the third time I noticed some spots like measles on my hands. My fingers got a bit swollen so I stopped tasting. It lasted for about 2-3 days but I am not sure if I got a penicillin allergic reaction or not. Please respond if you know what happened to me.
