i had to take antibiotics during and after surgery (precaution) however from what I can tell it was mega doses (6000 mg) of penicillin. Since the surgery I have been suffering with severe headaches. I was prescribed tylenol with codeine (didn't work on pain, upset stomach and kept me up all night) then I took a prescribed nsaid 1st day cut the edge off pain 2nd day nothing. Is this normal? has anyone else suffered like this?
Hi,
It is common to prescribe antibiotics after surgery. Are you still on the penicillin?
Some people have reactions to various medications. Have you had codeine before? My drug reference shows that it can cause headaches, anxiety, and trouble sleeping as side effects.
What kind of surgery did you have?
Check back with your doctor.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.
