Dont take any further dose.
Detailed Answer:
Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Well looking into your problem and the history you gave I would like to tell you that you probably had an allergic reaction to either of the two drugs augmentin or ibuprofen .
Since you had developed itching and spinning of head it might be the signs of reaction .
I would advise you to consult your treating doctor immediately as you will require antiallergic like cetrizine and if the reaction further progresses steroids for controlling it . Please dont take any further dosage before consulting with your doctor . Kindly seek medical help at earliest.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
