I had an abcessed wisdom tooth removed Friday morning. When I went to my dentist that morning I already had swelling under my jaw and a sore throat prior to beginning the medicine. I was prescribed and have been taking clindamycin HCL 300mg Cap, first dose was around 10:30 am Friday. Later that evening I started experiencing 101 degree fever, chills, body aches. I was feeling somewhat better Saturday but later that night fever again, chills, body aches. Today, feeling a lot better. Tonight fever is only 99.4 but I am still experiencing body aches. I also have 3 or 4 tiny pin point dots on my face. The swelling under my jaw is going down but throat is still sore when swallowing (as before beginning medicine). I just read the side effects. I plan to continue this medicine until morning and probably call my dentist or go to my family doctor. Advice?
