"Omnicef worked, but it took until the 5th day on it to finally feel a tiny bit better. I had some side effects, and my throat hurt so bad I couldn't sleep for three nights. I saw no visual difference until the 9th day. It almost looked as if on my third day it had gotten worse."

"I was diagnosed with strep, nasal infection, and an ear infection about 5 days ago. I took cefdinir as directed for 5 days and saw little to no results. Some side effects for me that were not listed were my stool smelling of the dissolved pill and also my urine."

"Bad antibiotic ... never worked, neither for me nor for my kids ... try anything else... 2 days ago, I went to the hospital with an acute throat infection. They passed an antibiotic into my bloodstream using a cannula. I went home feeling much better, but since they put me on Omnicef after wasting too much time taking 2 tablets, it came back. Now I am feeling very painful in my throat again."
