Headache after taking Amoxicillin

[Gilly61]

I’ve just finished a 7 day course of 500mg Amoxicillin for an ear infection & the worst side effect is a constant headache. I’ve finished the course but my headache doesn’t seem to be going away. Has anyone had this problem after taking these antibiotics?

Thanks

Headache is an uncommon side effect of Amoxicillin, taking that with the fact it's continuing after you stopped tends to suggest the cause lies elsewhere, but either way, I'd consult my GP.
