Omnicef and yeast infection

i'm a 19 year old college student, and i'm on my last 3 days of this medication, and while i had bad side effects at first, i waited them out, and now they're mostly gone. i had stomach cramps, that gassy feeling, i was dizzy and felt faint...i felt like i was in a cloud and couldn't function. however, it was better than the misery i was experiencing from the sinus infection, where i was only able to sleep. i can return to work, and some side effects still linger , but its def. done its job as an antibiotic. i did develop a yeast infection from the antibiotic i took before omnicef, which is why i didn't want to change medicines again. i was on another antibiotic, which made me deathly sick. omnicef is supposed to have less severe side effects than other bacterial infection antibiotics out there. i did take a probiotic with the omnicef, i recommend taking one with any antibiotic. it levels out your bacteria levels, which may stop stomach problems altogether.

My 4 year old daughter was on omnicef for two days for an ear infection. She is now covered from head to toe in a nasty red rash. The rash on her cheeks looks as though the bumps have all meshed into one huge red bump. Her entire cheeks are bright red. The dr said it was an allergic reaction to the meds and changed her to Septra. I don't want to start her new meds until the rash is gone but it isn't showing signs of improvement as of day 3. I am wondering if anyone could tell me how long the rash lasts? Should I start her new meds for the ear infection anyway? And she is sooooo moody. Her meltdowns are on a nuclear level which is out of character.

I took Omnicef because my doctor was not sure what kind of infection I had and he said Omnicef was a "well-rounded" drug. Meaning it deals w/all types of infections.
I had HORRIBLE headaches with this medicine. Completely opposite of everyone I've read on this site, I had constipation (where everyone else had diarrhea.) I also ended-up getting an intestinal yeast infection...Awful! My constipation & yeast infection eventually got so bad (no matter what I took for it) that I ended-up with (how embarrassing) a fischer. For those of you that do not know, that is a tear in the hole of your rear-end. It was severely painful and despite what I have taken to loosen my stool, I continue to have the awful tear to this day. (1 year after taking the medicine.) I went to gastro-entronologist and he said the only way to fix it (if not by laxitives) is by surgery. I'm hoping my injury will eventually heal by taking various laxitive stimulants.
I would not reccomend this drug to ANYONE!
Sorry for the gross details, but they need to be told to explain the extent of the injuries...

2 yr old with hard to treat yeast infection, Orange, white, then yellow dry/hard foul smelling bowel movements. Decreased appetite but increases thirst. Juandice for 2 days.

My 13 month old son also took the drug OMNICEF and has had similar side affects as well. Out of the blue one day after my son had been taking the drug for four days his butt broke out into a horrible rash. I thought nothing of it until it worsened as the days went by. I then figured the drug was causing this problem after a little research. The rash was red, itchy and even made his penis swell up. When I took him to the doctor, she said he had a yeast infection. This yeast infection ate through his skin as if he was burned with fire. Antifungal medicine cleared it up, but his skin is still discolored. He also had diarehha and a red liquidy stool.

My 6 year old, 4 year old and myself a 35 year old were all placed on Omnicef for "upper respiratory infections". We all had the diarrhea, which I expected.... I had the yeast infection, however it seemed to spread to the "rear end" area. Even my young kids said it "hurt" when they had a bowel movement. I have been off this stuff for 2 weeks and we all still have "issues". I never want this antibiotic again!

My 3 month old daughter was prescribed Omnicef for bronchiolitis. She did develop a yeast infection on her diaper area on about day 3. She has had mild diarrhea since beginning the medicine, which I expected with an antibiotic. On day 5, today, she had an episode of rust colored diarrhea, I decided to wait and look on the internet before calling the doctor since she is her regular happy self and it does not appear to be bloody. This site has been very helpful.

i am up every night i am so tired and cranky i can not sleep i am having shortess of breath. i am crying every time i urinate it burns with yeast infection and diareah. never again.

My 26 yr old daughter took Omnicef following sinus surgery 2 wks ago. She developed a rash on her face, vomiting, & reddish diahrrea, followed by vaginal & rectal itching & pain. Returned to her GP 1 wk after surgery & was told she doesn't have any urinary or yeast infection. However, she was treated as if she had a yeast infection. The side effects are making her incredibly irritable due to discomfort. Don't know what to do next, but we know she will never take this med again. It seems quite dangerous.
The Dr was quite indifferent regarding her situation.

This is the second time in about a month and a half, that my pediatrician has perscribed Omnicef for my 10 mo. old daughter, and both times it either did not clear up the primary infection or caused a secondary infection. Besides not curing what it was supposed to, the drug caused a bad yeast infection and severe diarrhea. It's very difficult to clear up a yeast infection when you can't keep the area dry! I don't like this drug, and I will not let my daughter take it again.
