Question:

I have recently been per scribed CEPHALEXIN for a tooth ache. But, I feel tired all the time, why is this?

As a child I tested positive for a minor reaction with penicillin.
I read a list of possible allergic reaction to penicillin I have none of them so fare and it’s my third day on it. The Dentist did make me aware that there could be a small chance of reaction. I need to know if the tiredness is because of the antibodies or a allergic reaction?


Answers:

Cephalexin is a fairly strong antibiotic. Fatigue is a common side effect of stronger antibiotics. I took Cipro for a kidney infection once, had to leave work early about 2 hours after taking it and was falling asleep on my drive home (not safe! doctor didn't bother to tell me it could make me THAT sleepy!)

Rest, relax, and let the antibiotic work.
