A patient presents to your office with complaints of severe earache and decreased hearing on the left side. Examination confirms left otitis media. You prescribe an oral cephalosporin and an analgesic. The next day the patient is brought to the emergency room with a rash and moderate bronchospasm. Reviewing his office record you are horrified to discover that he is known to have a severe allergic reaction to penicillin.

(A) Apologize and explain what happened.
(B) Apologize and offer to compensate him financially.
(C) Attribute the rash and the bronchospasm to his infection.
(D) Explain to the patient that he is allergic to cephalosporin as well as penicillin.
