Cefuroxime "I have infections in the sinus, throat, and upper chest. My doctor first put me on Augmentin, which caused me to throw up. She changed it to Ceftin, and it is giving me no trouble at all. Also, I am already feeling better in the sinus. I have a horrible cough, but I imagine that's from the bronchitis breaking up. I'm very pleased with how this is working so far."

Cefuroxime "It quickly helped get rid of the infection in my throat, but it is very hard to take. The taste of the pill is horrible and sticks around for a long time in the back of your throat. I used flavored yogurt to help counteract the flavor after I swallowed the pill. It also starts dissolving quickly, so it tended to get stuck in my throat."

"I had tonsillitis, sinus, and ear infections. After being sick for a week, I could barely swallow or turn my head due to throat pain. The doctor prescribed Cefuroxime 500 mg twice/day for 10 days. I was nervous about all the side effects listed because I usually get them all, however, I had no side effects except for mild itching from this medication. My throat and ears started feeling better after a few days, and the headache was much improved by 5 days. I made sure to eat just before taking the pill and always took it with milk. I have several autoimmune diseases and take a probiotic daily. Maybe these things helped me not to have the side effects. I would definitely take this again if necessary."

"I have pharyngitis. Compared to co-amoxiclav, this cefuroxime is much better. On the 1st day of the medicine, I feel a little better. On the 4th day, I feel like I'm fully healed. I won't stop until I am finished. On the 7th day, I was given 500mg 2x a day for 7 days."

"I have been using it for 2 days for my tonsillitis, I didn't get any side effects, but I couldn't get any help from it. I even got worse for the Streptococcal pharyngitis bacteria."
