Cefuroxime for Lyme Disease: Ear Fullness without Tinnitus Spike

[T2018]

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the antibiotic Cefuroxime. I'm currently taking it for Lyme disease because I had an allergic reaction to Doxycycline.

My ears feel full and plugged, and I'm not sure if it's from the Cefuroxime, allergies, or something else. So far, it hasn't caused a spike in my tinnitus.

Thank you so much!

Hello! I just wanted to bump this thread. I finished three weeks of Cefuroxime for Lyme, but had a relapse of symptoms and now need another three weeks.

Does anyone know if long-term use of Cefuroxime increases the risk of it being ototoxic? The fullness I mentioned in the original post went away, so I attributed it to allergies.
