This medication has worked very well for me. I noticed a difference within the first couple days. Question: Is it possible for this medication to cause me to lose my sense of taste? At first I thought it was a result of the sinus infection, but I just finished the meds this morning and am hoping that my sense of taste returns.

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.
