bacterial infection
"Cephalexin might be one of the best antibiotics I have ever taken. I was prescribed 500mg 3x a day for 7 days for an infected lymph node (? The doc didn't really explain, but the lymph node in my groin was swollen to the size of a grape and SO painful I could barely walk. He said it was abcessed)  By the 5th dose, almost all of the pain had subsided, swelling was down and I had ZERO side effects.  Usually I am very sensitive to antibiotics so I was sure to take the pills on a full stomach.  I also get nervous taking any type of medication because of the potential stomach upsets, as I am absolutely terrified of throwing up. But, currently on day 4 - No complaints what so ever.  Very happy with how it is working so far :)"
