penicillin allergy
If your child just has hives (also called urticaria), you will likely notice red or pink raised areas on your child's skin that are itchy, varied in size, and come and go over several hours. 2 They often don't go away completely, though.
BELOW SIX MONTHS.. NOT NECESSARY.. BUT..IF THE BABY IS ALLERGIC TO SOME ..FOOD..DRUGS.. THEN BETTER TO.. DO..AST ..
I don't think there is any guideline to perform such tests for neonates. APST is for older age group. Skin tests are unreliable in this age group due to immature immune function. Still if you can document that the mother is allergic to penicillin you can be cautious with the drug
