Omnicef and third day

My daughter is 10 months old and on her third day of the omnicef. She has been in a terrible mood since she has started. (as someone else noted a demon child). She has horrible cramping and diarrhea. She no longer wants to eat or drink. This morning she broke out in a pimple type rash all over the trunk of her body. After reading these post I am stopping this medication it not fair to anyone to have to suffer like this when there are plenty of other meds out there. Today is Sunday so I will be contacting her Pediatrician in the morning.

My six year old has a severe case of bronchitis. The dr put her on omnicef. She'd never taken it before. By the third day, she had severe diarrhea, headaches, severe mood swings (comparable to bi-polar highs and lows), sore muscles and joints, vomitting and very loud stomach issues. After that third dose I decided not to give her anymore after reading the severe side affects from this site. The morning after she missed the 4th dose, her fever was gone! I can tell that the medication is still in her system as she has not returned to normal yet. The dr called in amoxil for her and she's never had any reactions to it. I will never give her Omnicef again! What a horrible thing to give to children! Is the drug company paying out $$ for them to push this drug?

I was given this medication for a sinus infection. Instantly turned my stool into "goose droppings" if you know what I mean. A few days later, turned the stool dark black. By the third day now I am having TERRIBLE lower right back pain. Think it's liver pain. I'm am 32 years old and healthy. DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION!!! HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS!!!!

My then 8-month old daughter was prescribed for Omnicef for double ear infection two weeks ago on a Friday. She started having watery diarrhea and stomach cramping a few hours after taking it. She vomited once, and her mood changed to be irritable and extremely demanding. No more smile at all. We asked the doctor to change the prescription the next day (Sat), but he suggested to divide the dose into half, and gave it her twice a day. Okay, we tried it, and the next morning (the third day), she woke up having bad rash on her face, and rash started showing up in other parts of her body gradually by the end of that day. Of course, I called again INSISTING ON a change of the prescription.

The diarrhea kept going on for about a week, and two days after stopping Omnicef, my lovely daughter started smiling at me again.

Omnicef may be more effective treatment the ear infection as othe rmedicine, but I don't think it's worthwhile giving it to kids. The side effects were so strong.

My 3 year old was prescribed Omnicef for an ear infection. After the 1st dose he began waking at night with "Night Terrors". I called the doctor's office and they said that this was not a side effect and is common for this age. We continued to give him the medicine and his "Night Terrors" continued every night and every time he woke up from a nap. After the third day of Omnicef he started to become nervous and scared and not as nice as he usually was. He was afraid of the dark and did not want to go to bed. On the fifth day of medication he had 3 episodes of which he was so scared that he was screaming, and shaking and said he was "having a bad dream" but he was awake. I asked him what was in his dream and he pointed to the window and said "there is a monster out there". It was horrible! I called the doctor after the first episode and the nurse said that this was not one of the side effects and to continue the medicine. However, my husband and I decided not to give him any more Omnicef. We told the nurse that we didn't care if it wasn't a side effect and that it was too coincidental that this started exactly when he started taking Omnicef. The doctor would not call in a different antibiotic but said 5 days of Omnicef should be enough for his ear infection and he will see our son in three days for a recheck. Today was the second day without Omnicef and our son seems to be getting back to his normal, happy self. He did not have any scary visions while he was awake today and tonight was the first night that he wasn't afraid to go to sleep. I only hope that it did not do any permanent damage. I think more research needs to be done on the side effects of this medication and I am going to try to contact the makers of Omnicef. I feel that if my sons mental and mood changes are a side effect then it needs to be researched before it happens to any other child. I will never let any of my children take Omnicef again.

I'm a 42 year old woman who started taking Omnicef 8 days ago for Laryngitis.
On the third day I started having and still have soft, mushy stools.
Still have laryngitis. No relief at all.
