Just prescribed Cephalexin 125mg/5ml for my kid's ear infection, anyone have experience with it? Worried about the side effects.
My pediatrician just prescribed Cephalexin 125mg/5ml Susp 100ml for my kid's ear infection. I've never heard of this antibiotic before and I'm a bit worried about the side effects and how to manage it both for effectiveness and safety. 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!

I gave this to my daughter for a different infection, and she had no issues. Just keep an eye on her and if anything seems off, call the doctor.
My doctor warned me about the diarrhea. If it gets really bad, call the doctor right away. It could be C. diff.
Just finished a course for a UTI. No issues. Just make sure to take it with food to avoid an upset stomach. Good luck!
Be sure to check for signs of an allergic reaction. My nephew had a bad reaction to an antibiotic once, and it was scary.
Cephalexin is quite common for ear infections. My child took it and it worked fine. Just make sure to finish the entire course even if symptoms improve.
I used to work in a pharmacy, and Cephalexin is generally well-tolerated. Just follow the instructions and it should be fine.
My kid threw up a few times but overall it was fine. Keep a close eye on them, especially for the first few days.
I had to take Cephalexin for a skin infection a while back. It did the job, but I had some stomach issues. Just make sure to stay hydrated and it should be fine.
