Is Taking Clindamycin 300 Mg Right For Insect Bite?
A week after starting to take clindamycin 300 mg. prescription for possible insect bite and infection of swollen middle finger on left hand, my wife starting itching and has a mild rash on her back, legs and torso. I suppose we should call the attending doctor and tell him, but I thought I would make this known on this forum.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Clindamycin. I suggest to stop using this medication which can be the cause of your symptoms. I also suggest to use an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I recommend to use Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
