Treatment For Lump In Throat Not Relieved By Clindamycin?
I went to a ent dr one week ago with a lump in my throat and she said I have bacteria in my throat and she put me on clindamycin and I have been taking it for one week in liquid form but I still feel a lump and have trouble eating what should I do? Should it take this long for medication to work I have clindamycin pills to take for three days starting tomorrow Does it take this long and what should I do!

Hello
It is not usual for the effect of the medication to be seen after such a long time!
Please meet your ent doctor again as you may need a change in your antibiotics or there may be a different cause for the swelling!
