Has Raynauds, Infected Finger, Pus Filled, Painful. Taken Clindamycin. Taken Zantec? Why Heartburn?
clindamycin
My wife has Raynauds, the circulation issue.
she has an infected finger tip.
Regular antibiotics did not help.
an ointment form made it weep puss
All this time the finger tip (under nail) is very painful if bumped.
The last Dr. prescribed clindamycin . 300mg twice a day.
After a week, severe heart burn started immedeately after taking the pill.
Question: Can we use things like tums or zantec -as directed- to eliminate/control the heartburn?
