Omnicef (cefdinir) for Otitis Media: My 2 year old has been on this medication for 4 days and yesterday started having severe diarrhea. Her little bottom is raw from it. I have immediately called her doctor to have this medicine changed. Apparently she cannot tolerate it.

Omnicef (cefdinir) for Otitis Media: Cured the ear infection but caused horrible diarrhea that continued for a while after stopping it, for 14 month old daughter. Very harsh on the digestive system.

cefdinir for Otitis Media: I am currently dealing with my first ever ear infection. My doctor prescribed Omnicef and it didn't really help. I went back today and he changed me to Avelox. I can feel it working already.

cefdinir for Sinusitis: Cefdinir did what no other antibiotic did as for getting rid of certain problems that I had for years. However I had severe cramping and diarrhea with this medicine and had to quit taking it.
I feel like, if the doctors know something about this medicine, besides popping 2 a day, he or she should tell you. A person has to look on the internet how to take medicines in order to keep down the side effects. And if my doctor told me it would be better to take Cefdinir on a full stomach and eat yogurt everyday, maybe the side effects would have been much less. And he knows how sensitive I am to medicines.

Omnicef (cefdinir) for Otitis Media: My son who just turned one year old was prescribed this medication after 2 medications prior did not work to cure his ear infection. I was skeptical of using this medication at first but after the desired result was achieved I certainly do not regret it.

Omnicef (cefdinir) for Sinusitis: Omnicef was effective in treating my daughter's sinusitis. However, she broke out in hives a day after finishing the medication. Although it is not certain the medicine caused her hives, it is very ironic that they broke out within 24 hours of finishing the antibiotic.

cefdinir for Sinusitis: Well after my first pill I already felt better sinus-wise, but I had an allergic reaction and broke out in a red rash all over my face that spread to more of my body. Be careful if you are allergic to penicillin. You may also be allergic to this medication

Omnicef (cefdinir) for Sinusitis: This medicine works very well. I didn't have a yeast infection nor did I have the upset stomach, which I usually have with antibiotics.
