For Middle Ear Infections "My 2-year-old has been on this medication for 4 days, and yesterday she 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."

For Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "I get tonsillitis every year, and recently I decided to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics. He prescribed me cefdinir, and it worked great, my tonsils cleared up, but there is only one problem: the side effects. I decided to not go the full 10 days and stopped using it after a week. I developed horrible vaginal itching as well as diarrhea, which led to blood in my stool. This medication did the job, but I don't think I would ever take it again. Hopefully, since I stopped this medication, these side effects will go away soon."

For Sinusitis "This medicine made me feel worse than the original symptoms. I usually have a high tolerance for meds, don’t usually get dizzy or feel nauseous ever. But this medicine made me feel as if I was suffering from being hungover. I would drive 8 hours later after taking the meds and would feel like I could black out whenever. I would randomly feel nauseous. The headaches were a constant theme. Now that I’ve read the comments, I can attribute some of the diarrhea I had to it. I went back to the doctor and was prescribed Doxycycline, so I’m on day 4 and I feel better but still suffer from a cough."

"Great drug, one dose, and your UTI is pretty much gone, but so is all the other bacteria you need. This medication made me so violently ill. Vomiting, watery diarrhea, and stomach cramping. Had to pull over while driving to vomit (never had to do that before in my life, not even when I was pregnant). Thankfully, it has a short duration of activity in the body, so by the next day, I was okay. But this went straight into the garbage can after that."

For Strep Throat "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."
