Suggest Remedy For Nausea After Taking Clindamycin

my dentist prescribed clindamycin, 150 mg, 4 times a day for dental pain--in case the pain I'm having under bridgework is an infection. He also prescribed methylprednisolone 4 mg dosepack. I started taking both yesterday. I have nausea (and vomited once) today, and now have developed a red hot face. Is this from the clindamycin? Should I discontinue taking it? Unfortunately, I just took another dose. I hope it doesn't get worse now overnight. I'm also extremely allergic to penicillin--anaphalaxis develops. What should I do? Do I need to worry about this red face?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The nausea and vomitting can be because of the gastric irritation caused by the clindamycin. The red hot face can be because of the tooth infection or because of the allergic reaction to the clindamycin.
You can take an antacid with antiemetic like rantac an ddomperidone respectively. Later you can take antibiotics like erythromycin and metronidazole combination.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
