I just had a bartholin's abscess drained yesterday & am still in excruciating pain. will clindamycin help clear the infection as well?

Yes: The main things is getting the cyst drained, but antibiotics can help clear up the infection in surrounding tissue. Soaks in warm water may help it drain and relieve some of the pain. You can also take tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin for the pain as well.
