My child is ten years old, he is taking Cephalexin to treat throat infection, I think it is a good medicine but he is having stomach upsets. I would like to know if that could be a side effect of this medication. If the pain becomes serious of very frecuent, should I stop giving him the medication? Thank you

Went to doctor for what appeared to be a boil developing, etc. Prescribed this medicine (500 mg) and only after taking it 2x, developed a lump in my throat/chest area and had a reaction to it. So called the office and they're taking me off of it. I had difficulty swallowing after the 2nd dose. I am a female - almost 62 yrs. of age.
