thank you for your query in healthcaremagic.com.....
see every medicine is prescribed for a certain period....specially antibiotics....thats why it is called a course of antibiotics....so it is advisable to complete your full course of clindamycin which is generally for 10 days in case of gram positive bacterial infection which was most probably suspected in your case....
continue other medicines if any as directed....
hope this was helpful....
