How Can An Infected Thumb Be Treated?

I have just been given clindamycin for a bad Infection in my thumb. My thumb was amputated (half) because of an infection then I had radiation. After radiation the infection came back. Now I am in pain and terrified to take the medicine because of the side effects.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Please continue clindamycin as prescribed to get rid of the infection. The benefits of clindamycin are more compared to the side effects.
