I am currently taking clindamycin hcl and am experiencing diarrhea (getting worse each day). my infection is gone, should i stop taking my medicine?

Diarrhea and antbs: Please see your doctor. There is a very strong association between antibiotics and diarrhea. I can not recommend you stop your treatment.There is a specific number of days you should be on it for whatever infection you have/had. It might help if you keep your diet as bland as possible, hydrate well with water, go grab some probiotics or yogurt with probiotics, and see your doc asap.
