Can't remember how to spell what I'm allergic to.

I've got to fill out a form for enrolment to Year 11 (it's a different campus to Year 7-10). I have to mention any allergies, but I can't remember how to spell it.

It's pronounced "cef-less spo-ren". I think it's used in some cough medicines or something, I can't remember.

Anyway, could anybody tell me how to spell it? Strange question, I know, but I need to know.

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
What I can think of coming close to what you have asked is ‘cephalosprorin’ which is an antibiotic. The other name which comes close is ‘cephalexin’, which is again an antibiotic.
If you are not sure, please check your old records. It should ne mentioned somewhere. Alternatively ask your doctor to check his records. Allergy can be dangerous and correct information is important. Maybe your PCP an guide you in this.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Eh, it doesn't matter. I took a guess. Like I'm going to encounter it in high school anyway.
