Is It Safe To Take Clindamycin To Treat Pain Caused Due To Infected Wisdom Tooth?
I am allergic to kelflex, biaxin and ampicillin. My throat swells and I cannot breathe. I have taken ciproflaxin but it gives me extreme pain in mt tendons and flu like symptoms. Now I have an infected wisdom tooth that must be pulled next week. They have given me clindamycin hcl 150 mg 4x a day. I am worried about reactions to this drug. I do not want to repeat the choking or the tendon pain. I read the side effects. Also concerned about the stomach problems it causes. I am more concerned about this than the surgery. What can you tell me about this antibiotic?

Thank you for contact to HCm. Macrolide Antibiotics are safe for allergic people.I suggest
1. If you are afraid, then take antihistamine- Fexofenadine(Alllegra) or Cetrizine 1 tablet ,then take antibiotic and you will not have allergy.
2.For prophylaxis complication as disbiosis of intestine take Visilac or Darolac 1 capsule 2 times for 1 month.
3.You should use Clindamicin hour after meals.
Recovery soon
