Hello,

so I've had problems with my tonsils for 4 weeks, one antibiotic didn't work (Polish equivalent of Zithromax), so now the doctor decided to give me injections of Lincomycin, 600mg twice a day for 10 days. He said it would kill all the bacteria for 99%. But internet says: beware of dreadful C.Difficile!

This means 10 days of constant panic for me. Does it change anything, if it's given intramuscular instead of oral way? Maybe the risk is less? (hopefully:weep:)
