bacterial infection
"This is my 2nd time using Cleocin HCl, this time for a dental abscess (300mg every 6 hrs).
Today is day 3 of a 7-day course, set by the ER Dr. The swelling of my gumline, lip, and cheek has all but disappeared (just a tiny bump on the gumline left). The pain too is almost nonexistent, unless of course I bite down hard on the tooth that needs extraction.
 Side effects are slight nausea and heartburn if taken without 8oz of water or lying down soon after taking a dose."
