Allergic reactions can range from causing upset stomach to causing breathing issues. you can't know who a drug will effect you until you take it or something with some of the same ingredients. No one can really answer this for you as meds (and allergic reactions) differ for everyone. I had a med reaction that caused my toes to go numb and the doc considered that an allergic reaction and wrote it in my chart as such.

Don't take barbs. They are dangerous especially when one is allergic. This will backfire. Hold your horses until Monday if you must.

Go to ER if pain is intolerable, though I don't trust them to help with pain, too many drug seekers to know who is serious. Got a morphine shot only once in ER. Didn't ask for any pain med. Came in nearly unconscious, going in and out of consciousness, shaking, white as a ghost after 6-7 hrs of intractable vomiting. Threw up 30-40 times, should have gone sooner, but didn't want a $2600 bill for a bag of fluids + Zofran. Hubby carried me in.
