I noticed that i am getting a smell of antibiotics under my arms and it is bothering me. i am taking clindamycin for my teeth. is this normal?

Vague: Question is why you are taking the clindamyucin. Is it for a tooth infection, gum infection or both. The clindamysin can also upset the stomach, so the smell may be secondary. But it may also be what you are ingesting in terms of food, beverages and supplements.
