clindamycin is fine. it is one of the antibiotics of choice for a staph infection. as far as a follow-up culture is concerned there is nothing inappropriate in having one to be sure the staph has resolved from the antibiotic. ask the treating medical provider for patient-specific advice however since i do not know the type of staph that he has. my son is 7 and has had a stuffy noise and a bad caugh for a month. can i give him a 300mg. clindamycin?
14 yr old son diagnosed with a staph infection in throat. prescribed clindamycin. standard? need a followup culture?
