They both are antibiotics. The Clindamycin is a antibiotic used for treatment of infection in the mouth, i.e. abcesses. Cephalexin is a weak antibiotic that is used when doctors don't know which one would work best. It is a very weak antibiotic. It would not hurt at the very most you could get another infection you don't want if you are a woman. But why take 2 when you don't need it. With any antibiotic is just takes time.
Hi ,Cephalexin is not a weak antibiotic ,its a cephalosporin 1st generation and the regular used its limited to ligtht to moderate infections mostly vs gram + germs ,Clindamycin is a lyncosamin antibiotic that can be used for moderate to severe infection with the additional ratio of action (over anaerobics germs plus grams + or - ),the mechanism of actions are different and both can be used if needed for severe infections with a wide radio of action(gram + ;gram - and anaerobics germs )more details go to your doctor.

Cephalexin and sulfamethoxazole can not be taken together, irrespective of zicam. Cephalexin is bacteriocidal and all sulfa drugs including sulfamethoxazole are bacteriostatic.
