This would be unusual treatment. It likely would work, but it usually isn't necessary to treat cellulitis for more than 10-14 days, and clindamycin carries higher risk of potentially serious side effects than more usual antibiotics, such as cephalexin (Keflex) or sulfa-trimethoprim (Bactrim). But depending on the speciific cause, clindamycin may be the best choice. Discuss with the doctor.
