Cephalexin "I have allergies to a lot of antibiotics, and the ones I can take, I have horrible side effects. Keflex is the only one I'm not allergic to, and no bad side effects. It works. I had a sinus infection with an ear infection, and even though it isn't typically used for sinus infections, it always clears it up. I also had a double ear infection. All better. Recommended to those sensitive to meds."

"Started with a cold. Then I noticed thickening in the old nasal passages stayed out in some colder, wet weather. It was like the next day, dizzy, off balance, and no hearing in my left ear at all, nothing. The third day of that, my ear is like dead, no air, sounds, nothing! Could hardly drive three blocks to the clinic just to start something. One look in the ear, they gave me this Cephalexin, write this on the third day. It's been slow, but I think it is starting to help. Some side effects like muscles aching, still dizzy, off balance the whole time, and ear still out."

"Antibiotics never sit well for me. Especially penicillin, which I now don't take because it makes me projectile vomit and causes so much stomach pain. So because of that (and all the horrible reviews), I was nervous to take cephalexin. But this stuff works. I had a double ear infection and sinus infection. It cleared it all up and caused nothing but some minor stomach pains and nausea that were very manageable. Just eat a good meal with it, and you should be set. One of the best antibiotics I've had to take."

"This is the other thing that will get rid of my ear infections. It's cheaper than other medications that don't work."
