Question Penicillin?

I just got some Penicillin from the docter.
I got, home, and opened the bottle to see, the yellowy liquid inside, but expecting a "Banana" like flavor, I never got it?

Isn't Penicillin, supposed to be flavored, like Banana's or something?

Question More?

Also..
I took, the Penicillin, about.. 2hours ago..
And, I've been feelin sick lick, ever sense.

I had to gag alot to get it down.. and, now.
I feel sick, and weak like.. Should I stop taking it?

I mean, I'm only taking it, for an Appse on my tooth.
And, its almost cleared up, on its own.

I'll start rinsing, my mouth out with warm water and salt.

What do you all think?

I have a feeling that you have probably grown up since the age that your doc prescribed the banana flavour as it is just a ploy to get kids to take their medication!

It is important, as with all courses of antibiotics, to finish the course once you have started. It is probably the non-banana flavour that is making you gag.

Try and persevere

How old are you? Surely past the age of liquid penicillin?
Check with the pharmacist if your dr prescribed caps or liquid.
Liquid is usually not as strong as caps cause it's meant for children.
Take a banana drink to make you feel better
