I went into the hospital er was given a shot of clindamysin in the muscle, a bottle to take home and also a bottle of for the same diagnosis. cellulitis, over jaw and neck. It has been 6 days and I still have signs of it. This all began when after taking antibiotics for 2 years because "Dentical" would not pull my teeth and simply kept giving me antibiotics. I finally got my teeth pulled, however I ended up with this crap within 24 hours after they were pulled. It has re occurred about 20 times in the last 5 years now, however this week was the very worst it has ever been. My current quack of a doctor kept telling me it was viral. I just had a bone fusion on my lower back and am concerned now that I may have problems with this surgery due to the infection. Any info on this?If the gentamicin helped you, maybe this is what I need too. This infection has left pigment blotches all over my neck that have never gone away. <IMG title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" border=0> <B>Bacterial Infection that wont go away!</B><BR><BR>--------------------<BR>Jari Blake<BR>
