Sore throat and tonsil pain
Took 6 injections of cefotaxime 1000mg and sulbactum 500mg in 3 days as prescribed by an ENT doctor. Now 90% improvement in throat. Now he prescribed clindamycin 300mg BD for 3days. Is it necessary to take that??? My gut health is already very bad. I just want an opinion. This was my tonsil condition when i started on IV.

Yes it's necessary. Step down treatment from injection to tablets is necessary.
