Is Clindamycin HCL the appropriate treatment for breast infection?

Asked By:L1351046 in Wylie, Tx

Hello, I am 7 weeks post op from a breast lift. I have been spitting stitches and once a week the PS has been removing them. I went in today because I felt I had a infection. After seeing the PS he confirmed that I do have a infection and is treating me with Clindamycin HCL 300 mg 3 X daily. The reason I am wondering if this is appropriate is because his partner was in the exam room and she suggested Cephalexin and he said no. Is the Clindamycin a better choice?
