| Add Ceftin review I was put of Ceftin due to an "upper respiratory infection." (Strep culture was negative.) I stopped medication after seven days because I was constantly nauseous despite taking it with food, and sore throat, coughing and headaches did not subside after being on meds for a week. (I figured why continue to suffers on Ceftin? My ailment must be viral...) I lost my voice four days later.... so I resumed use of Ceftin and developed hives within 24 hours. I dont really mind the taste so much, of course I can barely taste anything considering I can't breath very well. I was prescribed this drug for Scarlet fever. I am afraid I am having early symptoms of dystonic reaction. I feel ready to crawl out of my skin and very panicky. My syptoms have started to clear up after 48 hrs of taking this drug, but now I am on my way to the ER for a benadryl shot. I wouldnt reccomend this drug. I had a very bad cough and my doctor prescribed me Ceftin. This drug is amazing and i felt better within a day. I neve felt nauseous and i never got sick once or had a bad reaction. Unfortunately i did hate the taste and had problems taking it with water, but taking it with milk is my reccomendation as it makes you feel better fter you take it. | Add Omnicef review My 10 months old daughter was given this drug after the 3rd ear infection. After the 1st does itself my baby got rashes all over the body. The doctor asked me to give for 1 more day. It made worse the next day. Tomorrow have to call the doctor and ask again. After our then 6year old took all 10 days worth of medicine he broke out into a rash, itching, entire body started swelling to the point he could hardly walk! After a trip to after hours and one ER trip they finally told us it was the medicine and to never give him this medicine again. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. Our 11 month old son was prescribed this drug for ear infections after several other antibiotics didn't work. After 2 days of taking the drug, he broke out into hives. I will not recommend this drug to anyone. | |||
