Why has my doctor always give me augmentin when I have had two allergic reactions to penicillin medicines when I was younger?

Augmentin contains pencillin, and you should not receive augmentin at all. You need to change doctors if your doctor knows this and report the person.

Allergy to Augmentin means allergy to all penicillin based medications?
Not necessarily. Firstly, Augmentin is a combination of two different medicines: amoxicillin, which is related to penicillin, and clavulanate, which is not. You could conceivably be allergic to either one. Secondly, even if you have a reaction to amoxicillin, it might not necessarily be related to the penicillin-like part of the molecule. Or it could be a different type of reaction to amoxicillin, which has nothing to do with allergy. Fortunately, penicillin is one of the few medications for which there is an allergy test. I'd suggest you talk to a board certified allergist to discuss the details.
