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!
Thanks
