 1  Incision on Upper foot was not heal I started taking this drug because of an infection in my foot due to a cut. The first two days I just felt light headed and a little strange. By the third day I woke up that morning and felt like I was going to pass out. My whole body tingling and weak. I was very scared and went to the ER. They did a lot of tests on me and said it was possible that it could be the cephalexin but rare. I have never felt so awful before and I would not recommend this drug. F 50 10 days

 3  cellulitis on leg Pins and needles feeling in lower back, going to the bathroom more, sores on roof of mouth, chills Cellulitis is an infectious disease and since I've had open heart surgery for endocarditis in the past I don't take any chances. I was also prescribed Bactrim at the same time which I had an allergic reaction too. Sores in mouth and severe chapped lips may be from that. Will continue to take Keflex (Cephalexin). M 29 10 days

 1  UTI Within 3 hours of taking first (and only) pill I began vomiting violently. There was nothing to throw up but the pressure in my chest and stomach with the force of the vomiting mechanism was unbearable. I went through this every ten minutes or so for 90 minutes. Then I had the urge to defecate and when I did, it was pure liquid. It was as if someone turned on a faucet full blast. It just kept gushing. This happened three time within 30 minutes. I was completely exhausted and could barely get to my bed. Once I got there I experienced the worst chills ever. I asked my son to turn off the fan and put blankets on me but I still couldn't get warm. This all happened 2 days ago and I'm STILL wiped out with a scratchy throat and sore muscles. This was the result of taking ONE PILL! there's another drug in this category that caused hives years ago -K-Flex. F 59 1 days

 1  Open fracture on pinky finger On about the third day, I began experiencing increased need to defecate. Began as frequent bowel movements, increasing to as often as every 10 minutes. Also had sharp, cramping pain in my lower left abdomen. Chills. Loss of appetite. Fatigue. Difficulty concentrating & getting motivated (probably due to fatigue) I called the ER that prescribed it & they were pretty dismissive, telling me it's one of the antibiotics with the least amount of side effects & to keep taking it. I think they're rather irresponsible giving me such a large dose. I'm a rather small Asian female & I'll bet the dosage they put me on was tested on a larger white male. F 53 4 days
