(Newest replies first)

Updated

My husband has been taking this med for a virus. He will eat something small before taking b/c it upset his stomach. Shortly after taking he will get hiccups that will last for awhile. Can this med cause this and should he keep taking?

First of all, Cephalexin is an antibiotic, so it is only effective against infections, it will not do anything for a virus, since it's not an antiviral medication.

Did his doctor prescribe this?

That is why antibiotics cannot be used to treat cold or the flu, because they are caused by viruses, not bacterial infections. Using them inappropriately causes the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

As to the hiccups, it is probably because they can cause some gas in some people, if he is taken it with small amounts of food and gulping a fluid with it, this will just add to the amount of air in his stomach, that causes them. He should try to take it with a regular meal and not gulp the liquid he is taking it with, slow sips are best.
