Restart you medications please, you need 1 full week, finish the antibiotics to clear your infection, and restart if you need proof

Was the strep infection proven by a positive culture? I'm unclear who prescribed the clindamycin and how many days you took it. It seems to me that you may have eradicated the strep if it was ever present. I recommend another throat culture at this time. If you're still experiencing a sore throat, I also recommend getting vs CBC&differential cell count as well as a mono test.
