Question: I am taking the drug cleocin and am having a bad reaction to it. I am already taking neurontin, vesicare, oxycodone, xanax, glimepiride,diovan, cardiazem, benedryl, seroquel, lexipro, flexeril, and metforman and a quickie scrip for abscess, I usually take the quickie scrip of bactrim for outbreaks follocliulits. This time, I let it go too long and it turned into a painful abscess. Am I having an allergic reaction to cleocin, or is a physical/drug reaction to it. It has taken me over an hour to create this text to you because of all the nerve jerking.

Brief Answer:
Probable drug reaction associated with infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your query and concern.

The painful abscess sis possibly related to the combination of the bad drug reaction and infectious folliculitis.

I advise you to have a pus culture and sensitivity to document the exact source of the involved microbial agent

You can continue the list of mentioned drugs being prescribed to you

An incision and drainage of the pus cavity along with betadaine dressing twice a day will hep to cure the pus .

Cleocin can be taken along with tab Deslor which has excellent antiinflammatory and antiallergic action.

Post your further queries if any.
