Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms you have adverse reaction with Clindamycin and all the symptoms are due to adverse reaction.
You should immediately stop taking Clindamycin and consult your treating dentist and get the antibiotic replaced with other antibiotics..

You will also be advised to take anti-allergic medications like Cetrizine or fexofenadine [allegra] for reducing the allergy symptoms..
You can also take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen for reducing inflammation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
