 2  Bacterial infection in throat Small white sores in mouth developed after 2 days. 7/10 in pain rating when eating or drinking. Got worse and stopped taking after 6 days.

 4  Middle ear infection Light flushing. Irregular heart rhythm, some abdominal pain Took Ceftin 500 mg. twice a day for 7 days. Had a middle ear I infection, no pain, just could not hear out of my left ear and this was following the flu, so my fears were that this was permanent, but on day 7 the infection began to clear. I am thankful, because the longer you can't hear the more likely you could loose some of your hearing. Very thankful. Eat lots of potassium rich foods when you take this. F 54 7 days

 1  Suspected deep sinus infection Extreme tiredness, loose stools, achy body, nausea feeling, nervousness, anxiety feeling, very very weak and just feel totally out of it. The first few days seemed okay. Side effects crept in slowly as time went on. I only made it 10 days out of the 14 day prescription - I just couldn't take any more. My stomach has been destroyed after taking this. I've had a few bouts of severe gerd and upper stomach pain. Over all I just feel like I've been run over by a truck. I just feel sick, weak, tired and worthless three days out from stopping this stuff. I will not be taking this again. Ceftin is a powerful antibiotic that can take you down. Be cautious before taking this, doctors just write the script for this stuff and don't pay enough attention to what damage it does to their patients. M 53 14 days
