Allergic to anti biotics
I'm allergic to Augmentin and Sulfa both. Is this uncommon? What other options do I have for antibiotics? Whenever a course for any of the two is given I get severe ulceration of the mouth.

Allergies are common and if you know what you are allergic to then the best option is to avoid them .
There would be other group of antibiotics which the doctor can suggest you to take when you mention regarding your allergy .
For mouth ulcerations you can take tab riboflavin 10 mg twice a day .

It means u get heat boils ( stomatitis ) in your mouth .
You need to make changes in diet and start some probiotics .
You should be avoiding spicy food & reduce tea intake.
