cephalexin for Pharyngitis: I am taking this drug for pharyngitis. So far it has worked, well to be honest with you the main thing that helped my swelling was the GI cocktail they gave me at the hospital. So far this has helped in my opinion. I am experiencing what I believe to be a side effect of slight pain when I urinate.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: It worked so well for an ingrown infected toenail. I took it twice a day on the first day and the very next day it had popped the bacteria pocket open next to the nail. I feel so much better now.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: I get recurring cases of impetigo and Keflex is always my go-to drug. Keflex clears up the infection quickly, and I've never experienced any side-effects, even if I take it on an empty stomach. Highly recommended!

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: 19 year old male was taking this medication for relief of tonsillitis. After 2 days had an allergic reaction, lips started to swell, throat was significantly worse, swollen to the point of not being able to talk. Went to Urgent Care and they advised him to stop and prescribed an alternative antibiotic.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: Seems to help with the infection, which I thought was internal hemorrhoids but became a mass of bacteria under the skin. I think it was able to block further infection from occurring. Always get a little dizzy from this medicine but it works.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: I had acute mastitis. I was prescribed cephalexin and after two days started getting tightness in my chest and some nausea and mild headaches. I stopped taking it. However, on the plus side, the infection went away and I didn't have to take any more.

cephalexin for Skin Infection: The vet gave this antibiotic to my mastiff when she suddenly had welts raise up all over. He thought she have been stung or had some other type of introduced infection. So far so good, but it seem to give her a bit of urinary incontinence. She has had that before whenever she takes any antibiotic. She is taking other medicine too, so it is hard to say which one is helping or causing the side effect.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: I was prescribed Cephalexin for tonsilitis, which seemed weird seeing that it doesn't appear to be a common illness for this medication. After taking the pills for 2 days my sore throat improved a lot but I started breaking out into a red, itchy rash all over my body. I guess this is just an allergic reaction but Cephalexin did seem to improve my tonsilitis.

cephalexin for Skin Infection: I get blurry vision and mild headaches when I take cephalexin. But I get golf ball size cysts on my face and cephalexin really helps. I just had one developing and started taking it before it got out of control; helped so much. I can at least still go to work.

cephalexin for Skin Infection: I experienced muscle pain in my arm; they felt very tired and sore. I stopped taking the cephalexin after 4 days and my skin infection came back. I started taking it again after missing one day and the infection went away again but the next morning my neck and shoulders were very sore and it hurt to move.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bladder Infection: I usually never have side effects from antibiotics, but I had moderate dizziness and nausea. The nausea is not bad enough to send me to bed all day, but it does interfere with my daily schedule and leaves me extremely worn out and fatigued. It is frustrating. I have to take it four times a day for ten days.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: I am currently using this medication to fight a staph infection. I'm not sure how I got it but it seemed to start from a bug bite of some sort. The infection was the size of a golf ball and had lightening streaks running up my arm. The doctor had to cut open my arm and clean out the pus. Well it's been about a week and the infection has cleared up. Cephalexin seemed to work very well. I have no side effects and I'm feeling great.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH CEPHALEXIN (unregistered) said:
User Rating:

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: I had to take 250 mg of Cephalexin 5 times a day for 5 weeks because a pitbull attacked me. I got bit on my nose and foot. I needed to have 3 stitches on my nose and 20 on my foot - it wasn't fun but Cephalexin helped a lot because it killed the bactiria and stopped the pain. I am only 11 years old.

cephalexin for Skin Infection: I've been taking this medication for about 4 days now. It's done an excellent job dispursing the infection below my tooth and behind my eardrum. The condition was very painful at one point and I hardly notice an issue now.

cephalexin for Bacterial Infection: After very minor foot surgury, I was put on 500 mg Cephalexin 4 times per day for a week. After 4 days my digestive system went septic and I had to quit the medication. I seldom take even over-the-counter drugs and have never had a reaction this severe to an antibiotic before. I thought I would get back to normal after a week but after 3 more weeks my digestive system has not imporved. I have scheduled an appointment with another doctor in hopes of regaining my normal health.
