When taking the antibiotic cecdinir orally for my 5 year old child who already suffers from allergies year round, now he has been prescribed cefdinir for his ear, but since his first dose of cefdinir yesterday he has had eye burgers or excessive mucus coming out of his eyes and his eyes are very red and watery. On the side effects for cefdinir these symptoms are listed in under incidence not know.. what does this mean?
When taking cefdinir and the symptoms my son has are listed under incidence not known?

They know it happened but they didn't keep count. These are usually the ones where a few people have reported it, but nothing was found in controlled studies. Also, it may have been reported but it's uncertain that the symptom was actually due to the medication.
Let your doctor know ASAP so that they (and you) can report it to the FDA and you can get advice about whether or not to continue with the medication. The FDA number for adverse events is 1-800-FDA-1088. I've never done it myself but I'm guessing you'll need to complete some forms.
