Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
Clindamycin and clarithromycin are not very good choices for treatment of a urinary tract infection.
A better choice would be something like ciprofloxacin in light of the allergies which you reported.
If youre having persistent symptoms I would recommend that you follow up with your primary care doctor or a local medical practitioner who can diagnose and treat you appropriately.
