How long?: How long you've been on clyndamycine? It mostly works on abscess from dental origin , so if that infection on the jaw did not feel better on the third day of the clida.., then you might need to switch to a more spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for example . About that boyfriend ...I don't know where to begin;).
