How long will my reaction to amoxicillin last? I was told it might be serum sickness.?

I had a rash that has pretty much gone away. It started on Saturday morning. I had a fever on Sunday. It was between 100 and 102, but only lasted 1 day. I have a sore neck which started Saturday night and is REALLY bad. Starting Sunday, I have had sore hands, wrists, feet, and ankles. I find it hard to walk and to use my hands.

I started the amoxicillin on Thurday night and stopped them after one dose on Saturday. I took 4 500mg pills.

Update:

Sorry, I meant that I only had 1 dose on Saturday. I had 4 doses in total, which is still pretty good, I'm told.

    I am also allergic to amoxicillin and some other antibiodics and I had the same reactions that you mention.

    Luckily, you stopped after only one dose. Your symptoms should start to decrease over the next few days. If they do not decrease or get worse, contact your doctor immediately.
