Can i take something for headache while on antibiotic?

There are many different kinds of medicines that treat different headache disorders. Each patient has a different medical history that may help determine which medicines would be possible to take, and this is best decided by a physician who knows your personal history. Generally speaking pain relief meds are not contraindicated with antibiotics, however your personal history may be different, so always check with your doctor before beginning something new. If your problem is Migraine, abortive medicines such as triptans are indicated, not pain relief which can lead to rebound or Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) as well as the chronification of the condition. Antibiotics are not contraindicated at this time, but again, it is best to check with your personal physician.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.
