I Was Just Prescribed Clindamycin To Treat A Tooth Abcess

I was just prescribed clindamycin to treat a tooth abcess as penicillin and amoxicillin cause a severe skin rash. I had a bowel resection a year ago due to a ruptured colon caused by diverticulitis. I am afraid to take this antibiotic due to the warning regarding intestinal problems. Is there a safer alternative?
