because infections that are getting worse on more than 48 hours of an antibiotic need to be knocked down ASAP. Obviously the bugs that are causing this abscess are eating that clindmycin for lunch and laughing about it.

I don't know why, but toothaches always happened to me in the wee hours and always on weekends. At least the OP can be grateful it happened a week before Xmas.
