bacterial infection
"I was prescribed 300mg of clindamycin every 6 hours for 5 days for several teeth that became infected after being broken and crowned as a kid. I was terrified to take it after reading about it but I have not had any terrible side effects. Some very mild bloating and gas, but all antibiotics do that to me. Just take it with a snack and a glass of water, and take a good probiotic capsule several hours after each antibiotic capsule. This will help A LOT if you want to avoid diarrhea and a yeast infection. I would also take probiotics for a week or two after finishing the clindamycin, to help restore your body's good intestinal flora and bacteria."
