Can Clindamycin Be Used For Testicle Pain?
Question: Can I use clindamycin for left ball pain
Brief Answer:
I will recommend evaluation before using antibiotics!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
Using antibiotics requires that we establish you have an active bacteria infection. Pain alone wouldn't justify using this antibiotic. I recommend a doctors evaluation and testing prior to any antibiotics.
In all, I will not recommend this. I suggest you seek medical evaluation to establish the cause of this pain and treat. Most pain in the testicle is not caused by an infection but trauma. In the interim, Ibuprofen 600mg thrice daily will help with the pain.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
