Does Clindamycin Help Treat Swelling In The Arm?

I have a cat bite that I got last Saturday. Started treatment Tuesday with Clindamycin HCL 300 mg. When I woke up this morning I now have swelling in the inside arm at elbow and my arm pit feels like a bruised feeling. Will the Cindamycin take care of this!

Hello
Clindamycin is good for bite wounds but if the wound is not healing you should see a doctor and consider IV or IM drugs.
