Can Clindamycin Be Taken Instead Of Cefuroxime?

I am allergic to amoxicillian. I went to see an ENT and I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. I was prescribed cefuroxime 250 mg in which it caused me to vomit. In past years I was prescribed clindamycin. Can i take clindamycin because i can t take cefuroxime?

Hello
Went through your post, that you are allergic to amoxcillin,
I would suggest that take Levofloxacin as clindamycin is used for anaerobic infection so may not help your bacterial infection.

I find this answer helpful
