I am being treated for strep. i have formed lump in my mouth that is very painful and seems unrelated. if it is an abscess will clindamycin help it?

Go back to doctor: This needs to be examined in order to be diagnosed. You do not say where this is located, the size, whether it is tender, painful, fluctuant, etc. Go and see your doctor. This is rather an unusual story.
