 4  sinus infection None, I tolerated this antibiotic well. It seems to be a relatively friendly antibiotic relative to some others... Rated "4" because it is unclear if it truly helped clear the infection, as is always the problem with sinus infections. I was regularly doing saline flushes several times a day, and it could've resolved on its own. M 27 15 days

 5  severe bronchitis None. No diarrhoea. Well tolerated. Severe chest infection that didn't respond to amoxicillin, erythromycin or zithromax (z-pak), given in that order. Infection lasted several weeks. Finally doc gave me cefaclor, after 6-7 days huge improvement, which carried on improving for a few days after I finished the course. Completely cleared the infection. Very effective drug. Doc told me they prefer to keep it in reserve for difficult infections to avoid bugs developing resistance, if I get another infection they will want to try amoxicillin first before using this again. M 47 7 days

 3  Staph infection Serum Sickness The first time I took a week of this med it worked great, with no side effects. But a few months later I took a second script of it and broke out in a violent rash of itching, maddening hives. I had to get injections of antihistamines to stop me from scratching my skin off! M 31 14 days
