Hi
Amoxycillin clavulanate potassium is more frequently used to treat upper respiratory tract infections. Azithromycin is also commonly used. Clindamycin is effective for those who are allergic to penicillin group of drugs.Kindly avoid using clindamycin before using the above drugs since they are drugs reserved incase of allergy or resistance to other commonly used drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
