Reply To: Penicillin allergy. What are the options?

They are probably not concerned because a large share of childhood penicillin allergy labels turn out not to hold up on testing, and because there are established routes either way.

Depending on the stage and your situation, alternatives exist, and where penicillin really is the necessary treatment there is a formal desensitisation process done under supervision.
