Taking omnicef (cefdinir) for strep throat+ear infections. woke up from nap on day 2 and heel of foot is numb. is this a known side effect? do i need to discontinue this pill? i have diabetic pn but not numbness

Omnicef (cefdinir): Because you have diabetic pn, it's always possible that your numbness is the result of the pn. Your foot numbness is not likely the result of omnicef (cefdinir). It's never a good idea to stop a prescribed medication without first consulting with the physician who prescribed it. This is especially true of an antibiotic so please consult with your doctor.

Numbness is a : Symptom of diabetic neuropathy. I don't think the numbness is coming from the antibiotic.

Many possibilities: Numbness can occur from various reasons. Some potential causes include vitamin deficiency, nerve damage, nerve compression, and alcohol over consumption, side effects of different medications, or as a result of different systemic medical conditions such as diabetes. Get evaluated by a professional to determine the diagnosis. Treatment is based on the diagnosis.
