What Are The Side Effects Of Keflex Tablet?

I am currently on my last day of Keflex to treat a very bad strep throat. Have also had rash. Should I take the second course of Keflex back to back after this lot is finished? I have also had 2 injections to help nail this awful condition! Never felt so weak in all my 64 years! Am feeling a lot better today & was able to go for a 30mins walk.

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
a 10 day course is usually advised for patients with strep throat, although some antibiotics can sufficiently clear the infection in less days. The 10 day regimen is advised to eradicate the pathogens from the throat and minimize potential complications.

I hope I've helped! You can contact me again, if you'd like further clarifications.

Kind Regards!
