Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting, as u have mentioned that you have abcess formation in your tooth and swelling in gums and you are taking antibiotics clindamycin, better you take amoxicillin antibiotic for that and analgesic also with that take capsule amoxicillin 250 mg and tablet paracetamol twice in a day one vitamin B complex one time in day for 5days with it you will get releif and treatment plan for your problem is go to dentist and go for Root canal treatment and sacling also medication always in your case only give symptomatic relief
If you are having stomach upset with the antibiotic take tab RANTAC BD half an hour before meals. Continue with the course of antibiotics and analgesics. Abscessed tooth can be root canal treated for this you have to take an IOPA radiograph first, if it is badly carious then it could be removed. At home take lukewarm slaine nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
