Been on clindamycin since Saturday evening and this is Thursday night for an abscessed tooth. It went down for a day and now has a new abscess on my gums. Does this mean the clindamycin is not working? ? Do I need a different antibiotic? Also noticed I have a boil that wasn't present until the clindamycin was in my system. Could clindamycin be the cause? ## Sometimes an abscess doesn't go away with an antibiotic and the tooth needs to be treated to drain it, or extracted entirely. However, there is a chance that this one just isn't working for you and you may need to try a different one. Have you consulted your dentist, yet?

My dentist prescribed me 300 mgs of Teva-Clindamycin (1 every 6 hours) as I have been experiencing some pain in my teeth/left jaw area for the past 3 weeks.

I took 300 mg of clindamycin, 3 times a day for 8 days. I finished it 2 days ago. Towards the end, I had a day or two of loose stool. So I went on the internet to read about the side effects of clindamycin. And now I'm very scared. Many people seem to get C. Difficile infection during or after the period that they took clindamycin.
