General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Clindamycin may be stopped though usually it doesn't cause ear symptoms as antibiotics like quinolones or tetracycline but unwanted side effects can be caused.

Other safer alternatives should be discussed with his primary care physician. Ear examination may be done.

BPPV maneuver should be done to rule it out. Cervical spine X-ray to look for any signs of nerve entrapment or cervical spondylosis should be ruled out. Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like acetaminophen can help with the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
