You must be in a lot of pain. Is your vision impaired? Your spelling is nuts! You really should call the dr right away! "Kause if your stomack hurts and your vision or brain is being effekted to thats krazi badd" call the dr or get yourself to emergency you're losing it buddy.

Dear Buddy, as long as you are not taking any other medicine that would interfere with either med you mentioned, yes you can take the pain med while on clindamycin. You can click on the interaction checker on the blue banner under the drugs.com logo to check for interaction with meds you are taking. Patti

You should be able to take bayer aspirin, if you are worried about it, you can always double check any meds with a pharmacist, they are the true experts on meds, not the drs. I noticed you clicked the hairy cell leukemia support group button, I hope you get well soon, if you have more pain than the bayer can take care of, please report to your dr. Get well my friend, Patti

Oh, I feel sorry for you. You should be able to take aspirin, & if that doesn't help excedrin may do better for you. It has aspirin, tylenol & some caffeine to make it work better. They make in generic form so it is much cheaper. Good luck with those tonsils...

Get some chloraseptic spray or the lozenges, they really will numb it and eat some chicken soup, the salt heals your throat.

Buddy, if your stomach is hurting, you do need to call your dr as in rare cases, clindamycin causes a very bad infection of the stomach called C. Diff, so you need to let the dr know NOW, espeically if you have stomach swelling, and I mean right now. I hope that is not what it is, but that would be a symptoms of it. and you can get chloraseptic in the aisle at any drug store that sells cold medicine, seriously call dr now.

Dr may rx you some pain meds, don't know, but if you can get someone to get the chloraseptic for you, it will numb your throat, you might like the lozenges better, cuz you can just pop one in your mouth, feel better soon, ok. Patti

Buddy, has your doctor tested you for mono? My son has had it twice, & this last time he was having the same problems you are. Are you really feeling wiped out too? Running fever? I would mention it to the doctor. Clindamyacin is a good drug for what you have & mono. Good luck to you.

awww! and I am an aunt Patti too or Auntie Pebbles to some of my neices and nephews. It is possible you have a virus and an infection too and the tonsils are part of your immune system, so, you may have gotten an infection because your immune system was working to clear the virus, but now you are trying to recover from both. During Hurrican Katrina ( I am in the area that was slapped upside the head by her) I had West Nile Fever and I had many cold symptoms and was really sick for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. I got checked for Mono, that was one of the first things they asked me, was I ever around teen agers, and I was. I didn't have that and they did a chest x-ray too, and they lost that on Friday, the hurricane hit on Monday and most offices were closed half day on Friday thru latter part of the week the hurricane hit.
It was fever, and severe fatigue and cold symptoms, but I found out, I had west nile and that is a virus, you can't really do anything but rest, drink fluid and take things to treat the symptoms. It was rough, plus there was a hurricane that had hit, so, no tv, stereo, and I had a teen ager who was miffed because the AC and power were off. I guess it could be that as well, so many symptoms of things are the same. I just hope you get better really quick, and can get something good to eat. Maybe some ice cream would help!

Buddy, if you are young like a teen or early 20's be very careful in taking aspirin when you have an infection. There is a danger of Reyes Syndrome. You would be better off taking some actaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen for the throat pain. That Chloroseptic spray (or lozenges) Patti was talking about works good too-you can find it at most drug stores. Also mix up a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and gargle and spit several times a day. This will bathe and moisturize your throat to help it get better faster. It really works well. Get better soon! You should start feeling better in a day or two once the antibiotic kicks in. If not then call your Dr again.

Acetaminophen is what that should have said-I didnt hit the "e" key hard enough I guess.

Dzoo, I know that actually, but thought it cut off at age 12, didn't even think of that. Glad you mentioned that.
