Had a terrible allergic reaction from it. It started as cold like symptoms and my throat and nose were terribly inflamed. I thought I had just caught something. By the third day of this though, still using the Clindamycin not knowing this was the cause, my throat was closed up so much that I had to go to an emergency care clinic to figure out what was happening, and that it was an allergic reaction from the topical. I could barely breathe, and I choked anytime I tried to eat or drink from the severe soreness and pain in my throat. I had a high fever, chills, and green mucus in my nose and running out of my throat from my nose. Even after discontinuing the topical, I was inflamed and infected for over a week more. I told my dermatologist about this, yet I looked on the sheet about it afterwards and they still only recorded that I got a "sore throat" from it, and that was why I could not use it again. It was a LOT worse than just a sore throat, it was potentially quite dangerous.
