Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if taking Clindamycin capsule by opening the capsule is causing unpleasent taste in mouth then you can get injectable antibiotics or in the form of intravenous fluids but taking the medicine anally is not considerable as it will not cause any effect..
You should consul your treating physician and can explain your discomfort and he can start injectable antibiotics which will not cause problem as well as it will also help in faster healing of the infection.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
