Does Clindamycin Cause Burning Sensation In Throat?

I was prescribed clindamycin by my dentist.I have taken it for 3 days now.But today I took the pill this afternoon at about 2pm and I don t think I drank enough water.It felt like something is stuck in my throat. I thought drinking water would help but not really. I could not even eat, after I swallowed the food,I feel this pain in my throat/chest. and even now a burning sensation in my throat. Can this medicine cause rupture in my esophagus?Please help.
