Constant Headaches, Dizziness After Surgery. Stopped Medications Due To Reaction. Related To Surgery?

My daughter had surgery last week and is recovering well from that. However, she has had constant headaches and dizziness every since. She is drinking plenty of fluids and eating well. During the post op time, she was prescribed keflex and panadol. As she has had reactions to antibiotics in the past, the dr took her off the keflex as it may have been linked. However, that was over 4 days ago and she has also stopped any panadol in case of rebound headaches. Any suggestions please. She has seen her surgeon again who thinks it is not related to the surgery???

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

You have not mentioned which surgery did your daugther underwent. If it was some neurosurgery then yhe things would be seen in a different context.
Another possibility is that she might have received a spinal injection for anesthesia and that has resulted in loss of CSF which is causing pain. She should lie witb head low and drink plenty of water and avoid standing for long. It is transient and will settle fast.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
