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."

For Middle Ear Infections "My daughter, who was 14 months at the time, had a severe reaction to this medication after being prescribed for a 3rd ear infection in a year. She actually got worse and had severe side effects (aside from the gastrointestinal as mentioned by others), including vomiting, continued high fever, and by the end of the second day - hives. I list it as a drug allergy now on all her medical paperwork."

For Sinusitis "I took this medicine for ten days. I took 300 mg twice a day. It was horrible, the side effects that I experienced. I had the worst yeast infection and broke out in the worst rash I have ever seen. It would bleed and itched so bad it about drove me crazy. I finally went back to the doctor. It took three months to get it all healed up. They should take this medicine off the market."
