Just started on Keflex 250mg/5ml Susp 200ml for a stubborn ear infection. Any tips or experiences to share?
I was prescribed Keflex 250mg/5ml Susp 200ml for an ear infection that just wouldn't quit. I'm on day 3 of the 10-day course, and I'm curious to hear from anyone who has taken this before. How did it work for you? Any side effects I should be on the lookout for beyond what's listed? I've had some mild stomach upset, but nothing too bad. Also, any tips on making the suspension easier to take would be great! I've been mixing it with a bit of apple juice, but it's still a chore to get down. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I've taken Keflex for a skin infection before, and it worked wonders. Just make sure to finish the full course even if you feel better. As for the taste, try mixing it with some yogurt or pudding to mask the flavor.
I had to give this to my kid for a UTI. It was a nightmare to get him to take it. We ended up mixing it with chocolate syrup to make it bearable. Good luck!
I've taken Keflex a few times and never had any issues. Just follow the doctor's orders and you should be fine. Don't forget to take it at the same time every day for best results.
Be careful with the stomach upset. Make sure to take it with food and stay hydrated. Also, keep an eye out for any signs of an allergic reaction. It's rare, but better safe than sorry.
I had really bad diarrhea when I took this stuff. It was miserable. But it did clear up my infection. Just be prepared for some potential stomach issues.
I had a bad reaction to Keflex once. It gave me hives and made me feel like I couldn't breathe. If you start feeling weird, stop taking it and go to the ER. Better safe than sorry.
I had a friend who had a really bad reaction to this stuff. She ended up in the hospital with some kind of skin reaction. So definitely keep an eye out for anything unusual.
