"Prescribed to 2-year-old son since he is allergic to amoxicillin (broke out in head-to-toe rash). Day 2 of this medicine and a rash that looked like the one with amoxicillin started to show on his body and face. Gave Benadryl, and within 2 hrs, the rash seemed to mostly disappear. Will see his doctor tomorrow for assessment and possible medication change."

"This antibiotic doesn't work as quickly as penicillin-based medications do. I'm on my 5th dose, and I still have a stuffy nose, sore throat, however, my ear is no longer hurting, but it is still clogged. I'm not sure if this just takes longer to work or if it's not working at all, however, I am extremely fatigued, and I don't know if it's because of the cold or from the medication."

"Giving medicine to my one-year-old. She has a bad diaper rash, diarrhea, and mild abdominal rash since day 2 of this medication. Not best for young children or infants, in my opinion... last resort. This has to work though since the first antibiotic failed."
