I recently had to get a Bicillin CR 1200000 Units/2ml Syr injection at my doctor's office to treat a nasty strep throat infection. The shot itself wasn't too bad, but I've read the list of possible side effects and I'm a bit concerned. Has anyone here gone through this treatment? How was your experience? Did you encounter any of the side effects? If so, what did you do? Any tips for making this easier?

I just got prescribed Penicillin Vk 250mg/5ml Soln 100ml for a strep throat infection. I'm a bit nervous because I've never had to take antibiotics before. The prescription says to take all of it, even if I feel better, to make sure the infection is completely gone. Has anyone else taken this and can share their experience? Also, I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the allergic reactions. How common are they, and what should I look out for? I appreciate any advice or tips you all have to offer!
