Im taking Clindamycin and when i do, i have a little chest pain associated with heartburn, every single time I take a dose. As far as I know, im not allergic to any medicine. and this is my second time taking it with the same episodes. I get a little dizzy as well, but i think thats a small side effect.

Tell your dentist that you are allergic to the antibiotic and he/she will surely get you one that you are not allergic to. Taking it will not cause infection, but possibly inflammation and itchiness due to an allergic reaction.

stomach ache, dizziness, heart burn are not allergies.
Allergies are hives, rashes, swelling, unable to breath; things along those lines.
I love getting the patient who is allergic to a medication because it made them have an upset stomach. It's not an allergy, it's a side effect.

I'm going to guess your experiencing a side effect, not having an allergic reaction to this antibiotic.

you should have received a list of side effects when you filled the prescription.Call the pharmacist, they will know if you should stop taking it and have the doctor prescribe a different antibiotic for you.
