If you are allergic to penicillin what are you also allergic to?

I am personally allergic to Penicillin, which I found out when I was really young. About 4. Recently I was given a medication that had Sulfa in it, and developed a rash within a few hours. I went back to the doctor and was told many people allergic to penicillin are also allergic to Sulfa medications. It's not a guarantee, just something you'll want to keep an eye on if you are ever prescribed Sulfa. Benedryl worked just fine to get rid of the rash, but the doc switched me to something other than sulfa too.
