Brief Answer:
You should be investigated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
You should get an Ultrasound abdomen to know the status of Kidney. Pain in the region of Kidney associated with fever could be due to its infection.
Tha Antibiotic Clindamycin is used in Gram positive bacteria or anaerobic bacteria infection. It is not effective in kidney infection. Tetracycline has also minimal role in kidney infection.
Till you get an Ultrasound abdomen, you can take Antibiotic like Levofloxacin 250mg twice daily along with anti inflammatory tablet with Paracetamol.
Hope I answered your query. If you come back with Ultrasound report, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
