i have strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis) prescribed clindamycin now feel awful?
it is advised to get the full course of treatment. those are side effects of clindamycin. but since you are penicillin sensitive. you should stay on the medication till the course ends to kill all the bacteria and prevent relapse. if you experienced jaundice then stop it and see your doctor. drinking warm liquids such as lemon water and tea drinking cold liquids to help numb the throat turning on a cool-mist humidifier taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen sucking on throat lozenges adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of water and gargling the mixture
