Hi,

Cefdinir is a cephalosporin antibiotic which is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections. Side effects of Cefdinir are anxiety, panic attacks, heartburn, heavy chest feeling, shortness of breath, increased heartbeats, chest pain, breathing difficulties, wheezing etc. A very serious allergic reactions to this drug is rare but seek immediate medical attention if it happens. Symptoms of a serious allergic reactions may include rash, itching, swelling of face, tongue or throat, breathing difficulties, dizziness etc. Cefdinir may cause anxiety or panic attacks by itself, again it may aggravate anxiety or panic attacks too. In case of allergic reactions, this medication should be stopped immediately and consultation with prescribing doctor should be needed for taking another type of antibiotics.

Take care. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
