I've been on Humira for one year with no serious side effects. Six months ago, I was on a series of antibiotics for almost a month for sinusitis and cough related to that.

How are you? Those are listed as possible side effects of Humira, according to the FDA. You may also experience insomnia, agitation, wrinkled skin and shallow breathing. Has anyone else that's been on it experienced such side effects?

I've taken amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for 21 days. I started out with a bad sinus infection and ear infection. I'm still running a low-grade fever, blowing thick yellow junk out of my nose & coughing up brown junk when i first get up. I've also been using floxanose nose spray and I'm aching in my back and sicker now than i was when i went to the doctor.

I've been taking cephalexin 500 mg 3 times a day for 5 days now for my upper respiratory infection and sinus infection per dr request but i still feel pretty rough. Still coughing and blowing out nasty stuff. Why isn't this working yet? ## Hi Janice, Sorry to hear about your situation. Depending the severity of the infection(s) some doctors prescribe these antibiotics for up to 7-10 days, so it's possible that you may not get full relief for another 2-5 days. On another note, Cephalexin also has some strange side effects that in my opinion could inadvertently be mistaken for an ongoing infection. This includes "coughing, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, tightness in the chest, etc". Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0044994/#DDIC603067.side_effects_section But n...

About a week and a half ago I came down with a really bad sore throat. Swollen tonsils. White pus on them. Slight, low-grade fever. No coughing. No sinus issues. Some body/joint/muscle aches. Rapid strep (for Type A) came back negative. Mono test was negative. But I was given Z-Pak antibiotic for three days. That helped. Sore throat was almost gone. Then I got hit with a different kind of sore throat. Pain felt different. Then I started getting small "white head" type pimples on my neck and shoulders. I went back to the doctor. Doctor's GUESS was that it's staph. I was in a hot tub about a week ago. So that's why she guessed staph. But no test was actually done to confirm. But rash doesn't itch. It's not painful. I wouldn't even know it was there if I cou...
