Months ago now I had antibiotics called Cefimixe. I went to my Immunologist today regarding sinus problems which they are reluctant to operate on me again because they do not know where the infections are comming from altough there is a huge belive that a infection got in during the operation last year and I have been suffering with a constand cold since then my question is does Velosef Syrup 250MG/5ML (Cefradine) does it contain Penicillin as I am starting to feel really sickie and it has already upset my stomack as I am allergic to Penicillin What should I do Thank you for helping

Answer
I'm sorry to hear about your problems.
Cefradine is a cephalosporin antibiotic and so is different from penicillin, however it has some similarities and may be linked to you feeling sick.
I can't help with the other issues as this is not my area of expertise - my advice is to go and see your doctor again.
Sorry can't help further
