"My son had severe ear infection and was placed on two different antibiotics. Neither worked. After having five straight days of a fever of 104 and vomiting, the doctor gave my two-year-old a shot of Rocephin, and his fever was gone by the next morning, and his ears started to clear up. Thank you to the makers of this medicine."

"I had a shot of Rocephin 1g in my (R) gluteus 1 week and 1 day ago. The pain upon injection was a 5.5 on a scale of 10. It is a big shot, and it takes several seconds to administer. This was to treat a middle ear infection, which turned out to be a burst eardrum. The ear started getting better (less pain and less full feeling) within 24 hours, but the pain from the shot is still a 2-2.5 on a scale of 10, 8 days after administration."

"My daughter gets ear infections, and along with that, she gets nightly vomiting. Keeping the oral antibiotics down is difficult, then after 10 days, it's still not gone. Thanks for Rocephin, it is the only thing that really gets the job done. Why have your little one suffer?"

"I have been given this for otitis media and upper respiratory infections. It is a good 'kick start,' but the full effect is only achieved after a three-day course of injections. It works, but is quite painful, especially for pediatric patients."

"My son is very sensitive to the taste of liquid meds, but he doesn’t quite weigh enough for the pill form of most meds. He had an ear infection that mostly went away with amoxicillin, but when he got another cold, it came back with a vengeance. This shot was recommended as an alternative to the liquid antibiotics. After one dose, it started working, but not quite 100%. After the second dose, we saw a huge improvement in his symptoms! He’s supposed to go back today for a potential third dose after a recheck. While he doesn’t love the actual shot, my little guy is so grateful to have an alternative to the liquid meds. I’m just happy he’s finally starting to feel better after almost a month of constant ear trouble."
