my son was given this drug for a potential staph infection, took 1 pill, and 1 1/2 hrs later he itched all over, had the worst headache, threw up and got a fever of 103.6, the next day he still has the fever and horrible headache, but he aches all over and feels horrible, steer clear of this med.

I began taking this medication at a dose of 800mg twice daily 3 days ago. Today I began experiencing extreme anxiety, hot flashes, redness of the skin, itching and fatigue. I am taking this medicine along with another medication (cephalexin 2000mg daily), for a staph infection. How long will this reaction continue and what is the best way to manage the symptoms of these antibiotics?

I was prescribed sulfameth for MRSA which is a staph infection. Within three days of taking this medication I began to have a severe headache, pains in my lower back that ran down both my legs, nausea, loss of appetite, and severe fever. I went to the ER lastnight, because no matter how much I tried, I just couldnt move or get comfortable. Glad to know that Im not the only one who has gone through this.

I took Sulfa for 6 days and was in bed for an entire day with chills, high fever, and no appetite. I ended up in the hospital with 105.5 fever for 4 days! I am still drinking tons of water to wash the poision out of my system. I also broke out in a rash all over my body twice - on the 7th and 8th days after starting the medicine. I was given Sulfa to fight off a staph infection in my nose.

I was given it for a pretty bad staph infection on my face. I am 28 and healthy...Feeling light headed and groggy, but it seems to be doing the trick!
