skin or soft tissue infection
"I had cellulitis on my lower leg. I was prescribed Cephalexin 250 mg tabs four times a day for 10 days. I saw mild relief at the end of day 2 and by day 5 the infection was on its way down (less swollen, less hot, less sensitive). I continued the medication through day 10 and it did not return. I did not have any headaches, swollen joints, etc. that others reported. I am allergic to Penicillin but do not have cross sensitivity to cephalosporins."
