So, I just finished a 10-day course of Cephalexin 500mg for a nasty ear infection. I've heard horror stories about side effects, but I wasn't too sure what to expect. Luckily, I didn't experience anything too severe but did have some stomach upset and diarrhea. I stuck it out and finished the course even though I felt better after a few days. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or did you have worse side effects? Also, what's the best way to manage the stomach issues while on this medication?

I was prescribed Cephalexin 250mg Tablets for a urinary tract infection and just finished my course. I didn't have any major side effects, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced anything serious. The nurse practitioner who prescribed it mentioned it was a common antibiotic and didn't seem to worry about side effects. They told me to stop taking it and call my doctor if I got a bad rash, but I didn't see any mention of that in the patient pamphlet. Should I be worried? Are there any other side effects I should watch out for? Thanks for any insights!

And can anyone share their experience with these side effects? Are they manageable or did anyone have to stop taking it?

Has anyone else used this for an ear infection, especially in a child, and how did it go? I want to be prepared for any potential issues, especially the severe ones listed. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
