For Bacterial Infection "Honestly, I felt better about 4 hours after beginning treatment with this for an infected/abscessed tooth. Surprisingly quick, considering the amount of pain I was in. The downside, for me at least, seems to be slight nausea/dizziness. I had taken ibuprofen earlier due to pain, so this meant bad times in front of the toilet. Be careful with other meds that may upset your stomach."

For Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis "I think it's the 1st time having these - the fact you need to take a 500 mg pill on an empty stomach causes me to feel nauseous and can smell/taste the medication if I burp. Tonsillitis is better, though!"

For Bacterial Infection "I was prescribed this (500 mg, 3x a day) for a wisdom tooth abscess. After just one day of taking it, the pain is already much less intense. I'm not done yet, but so far, I haven't had any side effects beyond some nausea. I've taken much more unpleasant antibiotics in the past (metronidazole being the worst, but still doable) - this one is really not bad at all."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "I took this medication for a nerve infection and ate food while I was taking it, but within a couple of days, I started feeling nauseous, had a fever, and was throwing up. Ever since then, I've stopped taking it. Will NEVER take this medication again due to it causing me to be more anxious and more worried about being nauseous and throwing up."
