| Add Ancef review Breast surgery Fibroadinoma benign tumor, precaution because of spine rod. Given at end of surgical procedure in OR Hugh hives. Rash. Given Benadryl and steroids intoIV anesthesia team closely watched for any other adverse reactions . I was given this during a c section and I broke out in a serious rash all over my body. I took ancef when I had knee replacement,every since then I have had a white tongue .Doctors says a overgrowth of fungus but it happen after I took ancef.Cannot get it cleared up.Need some one to tell me how to get rid of this had it since right after surgery in Febuary 2011 Thanks. | Add Keflex review This drug is very dangerous. I had a relatively minor corrective operation on a toe and was given this presumably as a prophylactic to prevent post-op infection. 1st dose, 1 hour after food, within 30 minutes starting itching all over, hives, rapid heartbeat, tried to get up and passed out momentarily. Symptoms subsided within 30 minutes. There are too many other antibiotics out there to risk this ... Extremely sleepy, Already had a seizure disorder just started this for an abcess. I have read some reviews and they are scary. Z-pak worked for 3 days then I switched to this. Used Clindamycin for the same tooth 5 weeks ago from the ER and that was super. Hope this works ok. Took Amoxicillin before that for a root canal and that worked for 3 days. Z-pak at that time worked well. I guess its how bad the infection is. Tooth getting pulled next wee ... Keflex is the ONLY medication, so far that I have ever had a reaction to-- and it was severe and pretty immediate. I broke out in a SEVERE and BURNING (I mean ON FIRE) rash on my entire body-- so bad I could barely wear clothes-- especially underwear-- because the rash was especially bad in that area. I have an infection under my thumb nail (discolored, sore) which has lasted for 3 -4 weeks. This antibiotic doesn't seem to be working. | |||
