Hi
In regard to your query,clindamycin is antibiotic which is usually prescribed to patients who are sensitive to pencillins and it not a drug of choice for tooth sensitivity. you might be having sensitive because of dissolution of cement at the crown site. Secondly, after the root canal treatment tooth will be non vital which means no life in the tooth so i think you might be having pain rather than sensitivity.I would strongly recommend you to stop using drugs and please visit your dentist.For sensitivity you can use VANTEJ tooth paste than the regular one this might be helpful.
