I got serum sickness from Clindamycin. I had enormous hives everywhere, along with angioedema, fever, joint pain, and intense itching/burning. I had to take Prednisone for 10 days and, just to add insult to injury, later developed both thrush and a yeast infection.

I was prescribed 300 mg 3x day for seven days, because of a dog bit. After an hour of taking the medication I started to have sever adomial pains. After the third day I started to get dizzy spells and was laid up in bed for two days with a extremly bad headache. After the fifth day I ended up in the hospital due to hives from head to toe. This was the only medication I was taking at that time.

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.
