Oh that is a complicated question. It depends on what type of hemophilia you have .. I assume it's hemophilia A as that is the most common type.. and penicillin 'allegry' has been found to aggravate hemophilia A in some cases ... There are definitely more simpler options for sinus infection than penicillin! .. is there a specific reason your doctor prescribed penicillin and not any of the newer drugs? If there is than you might want to discuss with him regarding this penicillin allergy ...
