Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.
Headaches is one of the common side effect of
amoxicillin due to the
muscle contraction in shoulders, neck, scalp, and jaw & is less serious.
Also if your symptoms could be of amoxicillin-induced
aseptic meningitis means, along with the presenting complaints like headache and stiff neck, fever also should be present. This manifests within a week of tablet intake.
As Excedrin is a very good option for treating migraines & stiff neck, your symptoms might be due to amoxicillin.
I advice you to go to ER department,
-to do a detailed clinical examination for meningitis
-
Complete blood count &
blood culture done
- discontinue using amoxicillin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
