Hi

Presently you have two likely cause of headache. One is the ofloxacin medication which could have exacerbated your headache. Once you complete the course of antibiotics for the UTI, this should subside on its own.

Even refractive errors of the eye could cause headache and usually this subsides with correction by lens or glasses.

I suggest you give priority for wearing lens /spectacles as there is a greater chance of your headache subsiding with it. Until you complete the course of your ofloxacin you can take paracetamol twice daily for the headache.

Hope this helps.
