Can Feeling Of Hairy Nose Be The Side Effect Of Taking Cefdinir 300mg?
Hello, I have taken cefdinir 300 mg for 10 days in November last year. My nose feels like it is "hairy". I can't describe it any other way. Could this be a lingering side effect from this medication? It is so strange, never had this before. I have also had 2 different times AFTER I had taken this medicine where my bones/joints started hurting me so badly that I had to take a strong pain medication I was hurting so badly, it lasted about 8 days. I had this happen again and it lasted 2 days. Could this have been from taking this medication.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
The felling of Hairy like sensation may be due to the irritation by allergy to cefadinir.
I suspect you are allergic to cefadinir and other similar drugs like penicillin.
It may not be due to side effects of cefadinir.
That is why you had the strange experience of similar symptoms after taking the drugs both time.
My advice is to avoid these antibiotic drugs in future.
Because allergic to drugs may lead to life threatening conditions like laryngeal edema.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
