Type your answer here... Yes you can get hives if you are allergic to penicillin. Usually, hives are what happens the first time a person displays an allergic reaction to penicillin. The next time a person takes penicillin, the reaction escalates past hives to a much more serious reaction involving difficulty breathing (airways restrict). A penicillin allergic reaction can cause death. People who are allergic to penicillin should wear a medical bracelet or necklace that clearly identifies their allergy.
