What Are The Side Effects Of Clindamycin?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 Nov 2015
Question: On Clindamycin for failed root canal. Supposed to see oral surgeon on Thursday. Have the chills and my neck hurts. I'm assuming this is a reaction to the Clindamycin since my tooth is not hurting anymore. Can I take Benadryl for the weird feeling in my neck/throat.
