| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 4 | acute tonsillitis | Extremely sensitive hearing; skin rash initially and now little blisters; extensive blisters on, and swelling of, gums so that teeth feel like they're being pushed out, and gums and teeth so sensitive that I find it difficult to eat anything and very painful to brush my teeth. | I have penicillin allergy so was prescribed Erythromycin which, up until now, I have had no problem with. I'm hoping the swelling and blisters in my mouth are because of the added complication of the tonsillitis but my mouth is extremely sore and tender. | F | 46 | 4 days 250 MG 4X D | 3/8/2010 | |
| 2 | acute tonsillitis | Extremely sensitive hearing; skin rash initially and now little blisters; extensive blisters on, and swelling of, gums so that teeth feel like they're being pushed out, and gums and teeth so sensitive that I find it difficult to eat anything and very painful to brush my teeth. Hundreds of painful ulcers all over inside of mouth, roof of mouth, down behind teeth and in between teeth. Having difficulty eating, unable to brush my teeth, and having difficult sleeping with pain. Have now finished course, and went back to GP who confirmed that these must be side-effects of the drug.

It has now spread to the other side of my throat! | I have penicillin allergy so was prescribed Erythromycin which, up until now, I have had no problem with. | F | 46 | 7 days 250 MG 1X D | 3/11/2010 | |
