Taking Cephalexin For Sinus Infection, Experiencing Pain In Lower Jaw, Under Left Shoulder Blade. Reason?
Taking 500 mg cephalexin twice a day for sinus infection for four days so far. Experiencing pain in lower left jaw and under left shoulder blade. Three days left on the Rx. I m a 69 year old male. Ready to quit taking it for fear I may be causing harm. Your thoughts?

Thanks for using health care magic. I read your query and I believe the sinus infection should not cause pain in lower jaw and shoulder pain. there could be infective focus/caries in tooth which is causing radiating pain. must consult the dentist also for opinion.
If still in doubt, please feel free to see a doctor. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more queries.
With best wishes for a speedy cure
