Question 1

what is the definition or description of: omnicef allergy?

Accepted Answer

Omnicef allergy: Omnicef (Cefdinir) is an antibiotic.  An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For potential adverse effects see:   http://www.rxlist.com/omnicef-drug.htm

Question 2

i wanted to know is it possible to have an allergy to omnicef (cefdinir) but not amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Omnicef (cefdinir) is in a group of antibiotics called cephalosporin's. Amoxicillin is in the penicillin group. While there is some cross allergies to the 2, they are separate chemicals.

Question 3

i was told i have diverticulitis. its being treated with cefdinir due to allergies to other drugs. will cefdinir help any? how long should i notice improvement? :) i been having bouts of consipation and narrow like stool. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Constipation and narrow-like stool are not the typical symptoms of diverticulitis. Nowadays, most mild to moderate cases of diverticulitis are self limited, no need for antibiotic therapy and cefdinir is not often used for treating diverticulitis. Good luck.

Question 4

been treated for uti's which return. usually on omnicef to prevent them when needed. doctors are looking into why this happens (endometrosis, etc). now i have bronchitis like symptoms, fevers, mucus drainage, no allergies, just seasonal and antihistimes d

Accepted Answer

Uti's: Recurrent uti can occur after vaginal intercourse,taking baths instead of showers,wearing very tight jeans,or from structural anatomic abnormalities of the urinary tract. A Urologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you. If bronchitis is not improving a course of appropriate antibiotics should help.

Question 5

can i use children's ibuprofen with cefdinir?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction between both drugs.

Question 6

what's the different between cefdinir to any other antibiotics for sinus infection in children? any side effect?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: cefdinir,a third generation cephalosporin, is good for acute bacterial sinusitis, although for chronic sinusitis might not be as effective, as longer duration is needed and a broader antibiotic spectrum, side effects not that common, diarrhea, pruritus, and others, caution if hypersensitive to the drug, good luck

Question 7

i am taking cefdinir 300mg twice a day.can i have a glass of wine with my dinner?

Accepted Answer

Yes - no problem: There should not be any serious interaction with this antibiotic (a cephalosporin) and a glass of wine. I would stop at one glass though, because your body is under some kind of 'attack' (the reason for the antibiotics) -- so you don't want to overload yourself. Alcohol is actually a toxin, although we don't think of it that way. Hope you can go to bed early to help yourself recover.

Question 8

my 6 month old just finished cefdinir and has a random fever or 100.8-102.5 sporadically for the last few days. still sick?

Accepted Answer

Another infection: Since antibiotics have no effect on viruses,  developing a viral infection is a good possibility.

Question 9

cefdinir & cranial aneurysm, is there a connection?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Antibiotic and uncommon problem can occur randomly.

Question 10

ok i have a 5yo and a 1yo and they was both prescribed cefdinir (omnicef) and i accidentally gave my 1year old he 5yo dose should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: 1 dose will not be toxic.
