Shouldn't have harmful interactions. But boy, am I glad I don't have to be kissin' YOU tonight.
Garlic is good for the individuial
To be sure I would check with your doctor, I also have just got over a bout of tonsilitis and found it painful to eat nearly anything so I'm amazed your managing to take garlic ok!
You should be fine. There should be a website that tells you what not to take with your penicillin, but you will have to look it up yourself. Garlic contains Allicin and other alli* compounds if I remember correctly, so look out for that if you happen to find an incompatability web site for drugs. Good luck!
