Contact your dentist or seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face or throat, or hives. These symptoms require prompt medical intervention.
Severe, persistent pain that doesn’t improve after taking Clindamycin for 48-72 hours also warrants a visit to your dentist or emergency room. Don’t hesitate to seek help if the pain intensifies or spreads.
Noticeable signs of infection worsening, including increased swelling, redness, pus, or fever above 101°F (38.3°C), should be addressed immediately. These are indicators that the infection may be uncontrolled, requiring further evaluation and treatment.
If you develop new symptoms, such as unusual bleeding or excessive bruising while taking Clindamycin, consult a medical professional right away. These symptoms could indicate potential complications.
For persistent or severe diarrhea (more than three loose stools a day), contact your doctor or dentist immediately. This could be a sign of *Clostridium difficile* infection, a serious side effect of Clindamycin.
