bacterial infection
"I was on Clindamycin for 1 week 4x/day.  I had nerve pain from a tooth that was needing a root canal.  It was supposed to lessen the pain I was having and didn't do that, I was still taking Ibuprofen for the pain.  From the first time I took it, it gave me pain in my throat and chest, heartburn-like.  I have never experienced this horrible feeling with any antibiotic EVER.  I finally finished the dosage after 7 days and my throat and chest still hurt.  I wonder what it has done to my throat and chest?  I am thinking of going to go get it checked out.
I am not sure why this was prescribed over another type of antibiotic.  If you can don't take this drug you'll feel sick from what you have and feel sick from the antibiotic."
