I recently had a severe reaction to amoxicillin. I had to go to the hospital, where I was given Benadryl and cortisone through an IV. My doctor tells me that I now have "serum sickness." I have joint pain, fatigue and headaches. What exactly is “serum sickness?”
htmASKTHEDOCserumsicknessallergicreaction

“Serum sickness” is a severe allergic and immune reaction to a foreign protein. The name was first given to the condition many years ago when patients were treated with serum injections and developed a bad reaction. (Serum is the clear portion of blood that remains after it has been allowed to clot.) In modern times, reactions to antibiotics or vaccinations are more common causes.
