Hello,
Clindamycin may cause pseudomembranous enterocolitis. This antibiotic may cause kill normal gut flora and vaginal flora lead to loose stools and vaginal infection.
So you have to take probiotics like HMF intensive probiotics or wow probiotics twice a day for one month.
Avoid caffeinated drinks, avoid smoking. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
