Ceftin for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection User Reviews

"Very gentle antibiotic for me. With every other kind I've taken, on the first dose, I expect it to feel like it 'hit bottom' in my stomach. This one did not make my stomach upset one bit. A surprise. Had a cold for 1.5 weeks and it came back a few days later (after some sinus pains). Sinuses opened up and a torrent of mucus poured down my throat, causing laryngitis. Was getting worse, so I decided to suck it up and take these. I was VERY apprehensive at first because I think antibiotics should be a last resort. I have a trip abroad coming up, so no time to be sick. Started working the day I took it. It is now day 4 on them and my voice came back. I've been sipping kefir and taking a probiotic between doses. I don't know if this will cause a yeast infection, but I still might take a fluconazole after my prescription is finished if I feel ANY hint of discomfort. So far, so good though. Penicillins usually give me instant vaginal yeast infections! Cleared my cystic acne too!"

"I'm currently being treated with Ceftin for a chest infection. I had been coughing, and try as I might, I couldn't bring up all the stuck mucus in my chest and throat. After one pill, the phlegm was loosened, and there was a dramatic decrease in my coughing. Plus, I've had zero side effects! :)"
