What Experts Say

Cefdinir kills common bacteria by weakening their cell walls, which stops the infection from spreading further in the body.

It is usually given for five to ten days, and the full course should be finished even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the infection from coming back.

Loose stools are a common side effect, but severe or bloody diarrhea needs prompt medical attention since it can signal a more serious gut reaction.
