I was given clindamycin to take before seeing the dentist because I have an artificial knee. I am presently having some gum pain, like an infection I ve had in the past, and want to know will taking clindamycin 300 mg. help until I can get to the dentist on monday so that it doesn t get any worse or more painful?
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Clindamycin helps in reducing infection and has provides little relief from pain. You can take Retool DT for severe pain or Coquitlam for mild pain 2 times a day till you visit your dentist. Hope my answer will help you.
