Steve was a 75 year old retired plumber who developed an abscess on his wisdom tooth. His dentist prescribed the antibiotic clindamycin for 14 days to treat the persistent abscess until his scheduled root canal. After Steve finished his entire dosage of clindamycin, he started to develop smelly diarrhea, an upset stomach and pain in the lower abdomen.
