Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 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

my 9 month old has pneumonia and just started omnicef (cefdinir). is there any kind of medicine maybe steroid to help that he should be taking also?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics alone: For the moment the antibiotics should be enough. Steroids later, if necessary.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Should work well together.

Question 7

my doctor prescribed me cefdinir 1tsp liquid 2x for 10 days. i have chronic hives and after taking this medicine i feel very itchy. what can i take?

Accepted Answer

Stop the cefdinir: and call your doctor, it may be just an adverse drug reaction or may be an allergic reaction to the drug, either way, you need to stop the medication first, call your doctor to report what you experienced, s/he would direct you for an alternative treatment and how to treat the reaction. Meanwhile you can try an OTC antihistamine, read the labels carefully, best wishes

Question 8
