For Sinusitis "I've had sinusitis for a couple of weeks, woozy, dizzy, pressure. I took a dose pack, which I normally take anyway and it helped some but no appreciable effects. I tried Augmentin and couldn't take anymore after one dose due to side effects. I've taken 3 Ceftin since yesterday and I feel much, much better."

For Pneumonia "I developed pneumonia from COVID and a sinus infection after I was COVID negative, still with lingering pneumonia. I was given Levaquin, and it seemed to be working. But I developed a severe reaction to it: insomnia, shaking, panic attacks, nightmares, dizziness, and felt like I was having a mental breakdown. I told my doctor I need to get off Levaquin and why, and he prescribed a 10-day course of Ceftin. After two days of being off Levaquin and now taking Ceftin, no more anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, etc. Sinuses seem better and less coughing. No diarrhea yet at two days in. Will go for a CT scan in 18 days to see if the chest is cleared from pneumonia, as they saw small pleural effusion on the lower left lung, even after being on Levaquin for 15 days. It could be COVID scarring, which might take longer to go away. Who knows."

For Bronchitis "After taking Ceftin (Cefuroxime) for 3 days, my throat swelled, and my chest became more constricted. It felt as though I could not swallow well. I was dizzy and anxious. I consulted the pharmacist, who told me to take a Benadryl and if I didn't improve quickly, to get myself to the hospital. Within 5 minutes of taking the Benadryl, I could feel my throat relaxing. After relating this situation to my daughter, she told me she had a similar experience with this drug when it was prescribed for her a year ago."
