What antibiotics are you on. If you look at the leaflet at the side effect that will tell you. As everyone is different we don't all get the same side effects.

Amoxicillin, had them before with no problem so maybe these are higher dose. Leaflet does say headaches could. E side effect

I have never had headaches when taking amoxicillin. May be see your GP as you have had them before without problems.

Or you could just phone your GP and ask for some advice. That will save you worrying to much. Take care

The battle that is going on in your body between the infection and the antibiotic will inevitably make you tired. The infection can give you a headache. Only you can judge if both are bad enough to go back to your doc. I do hope that you pick up soon.

Hope you feel better soon :) I have the same as you about two years ago was being sick as well not nice took about a day or so to get rid of headache.x

Headache now gone thankfully, still coughing up gunk though, so fed up with it!
