Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Stomach Upset And Throat Irritation After Taking Clindamycin?
I have a dental surgery on Monday morning. I was instructed to take 5 Clindamycin 300 Mg today and then 3 until monday's procedure. My throat is irritated from taking three of the tablets and I need to take 3 more this evening. My stomach is upset and my throat does not feel very good. If 2 tablets cause this discomfort what will three more this evening due to my stomach and throat.
It looks like you have side effects of Clindamycin and it is causing hyperacidity and acid reflux.. Acid causes irritation in throat due to inflammation in the throat lining caused by acid..
So my suggestion is to consult your Dentist and get evaluated..
You can be advised to take proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole till you are on antibiotics.. Take antacids before meals.. Take plenty of probiotics like Yogurt...
Hope this helps..
Regards..
