Then an antibiotic for 10 to 14 days is appropriate. Clindamycin might be a good choice, depending upon what germ was responsible for the abscess and its particular antibiotic sensitivities. However, there is a high risk of developing bacterial resistance to taking clindamycin, by itself, so caution must be taken if that's the only antibiotic that you're on. Make sure you follow up with your doctor. If you have an abscess, the main treatment is draining the abscess and removing the pus contents. Then an antibiotic for 10 to 14 days is appropriate.
