I was on IV Clindamycin for 13 months with NO cough. Did you look up the side effects of the drug? Might be an uncommon side effect.

Just sharing my experience, I am not a doctor.

Are you taking it to treat Babesia? One of the symptoms of Babesia is a dry cough.

It is not constant. But yes, I do get a cough. I am on IV Clindamycin. Made me wonder if it was going to bring out some Babesia symptoms.

Yes. A dry cough that sometimes took my breath away and made me wheeze (wasn't asthma b/c did have that until allergy shots cured it yrs ago and this was different). Had the cough before treating but starting babs tx with the Clindy/quinine brought it out more often.

After a little more than a yr of Clindy the cough (and other sx) is much better. Much less frequent and severe.
