How Long Does It Take For Clindamycin To Work (Top voted first)

Does Clindamycin work for an abscessed tooth and when will the pain stop? My tooth hurts so bad and I don't have insurance to cover the cost. I only work part time.

Hello, Cali! How are you?

It may work, if it does, you should notice an improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. However, the issue is that it is not going to correct the underlying problem that caused the infection and it is going to end up returning. So, you still need to have the tooth taken care of by your dentist.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a nasty bridge that needs to be removed. One tooth under needs to be extracted. I have to wait about 3 weeks ti start this process and until then, am in a bit of discomfort. My boyfriend has some clindamycin that expired 4/2014. Would it be ok to take it?

clinda works well for an abscessed tooth. If you dont have a presription go to a emergent care not an er too expensive they can look at it and prescribed an antibiotic. tryr to work something out with a dentist because a bad infected tooth can make you very sick. Motrin works well for pain not tylenol. keep ice on it.
