How much oral penicillin for a horse with abscess tooth?

It would be best to contact a equine veterinarian and possibly an equine dentist, as the tooth may need to be removed.
How do you reverse allergic reaction to penicillin?
This should in no way be considered "medical advise" or a specific course of treatment.
Typically serious penicillin reactions require IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY TREATMENT with an injection of epinephrine, supportive oxygen, and possibly a steroid injection, possibly an injection of an antihistamine, and careful monitoring of the patients airway. If the patients throat begins to swell shut, consideration should be given to intubation (putting in a breathing tube). If the airway continues to swell, intubation may no longer be possible (we may not be able to get the breathing tube in), which would result in a tracheotomy.
Rarely are reactions this serious, however it is extremely important to get immediate medical treatment regardless. Sometimes reaction can go from somewhat mild to severe very quickly.
If you have a mild allergic reaction, you may be able to control your symptoms with over-the-counter antihistamines or other prescription medication which is available from your doctor.
If you have previously had a serious reaction to penicillin, you may wish to consider carrying an allergy kit of sorts, which contains a shot of epinephrine.

It depends what the allergy was to penicillin. Overall, there is around a 7-10% chance of cross-sensitivity (meaning you may be allergic to Keflex if allergic to penicillins). If you developed a rash/hives from penicillin, the doctor MAY prescribe Keflex if the Dr. believes Keflex is the best antibiotic choice for you. If you had an anaphylaxic reaction (meaning you had a life threatening reaction to penicillins), the doctor should NOT prescribe keflex. He or she should prescribe something else.
Make sure you let your Dr. and pharmacist know all allergies you have to prevent any problems in the future.
