For Middle Ear Infections "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."

Cefprozil for Sinusitis "Terrible medicine. I had diarrhea with dehydration and ended up with severe dry mouth at night. I took it for sinus for over a month and need to take it for 70 days, but it killed my stomach already. I used to drink a lot of water, but all useless with this medicine. I think I have to stop it."

Cefprozil for Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "It was prescribed to treat a bad sore throat. It didn't help. After taking it, not only did the sore throat remain, but I developed vaginitis and diarrhea that took me long to cure. Be careful if your immune system is sensitive to antibiotics and make sure you also take an effective probiotic while on this."

For Sinusitis "After 5 days, I feel horrible on this medication. As if I didn't feel bad enough with the sinus infection, now I have horrible-horrible!-diarrhea, stomach ache, and cramps. Worst antibiotic I have ever been on!"

For Sinusitis "50/50 on if my sinusitis is ever affected, but for all of those taking it, eating yogurt should be mandatory information. This helps replace the good bacteria in your stomach, your vagina, and anywhere else your “flora” should be propagating. If you do this, add in the good bacteria to your body, it leads to less (if any) stomach issues, diarrhea, yeast infections, etc."
