Amoxicillin 500mg Headache

Updated

I have been taking Amoxicillin 500 mg for 3 days now. I'm suffering from really bad headaches and sore eyes. Could this be caused by the tablets? Or is this dose (500mg) too high? I'm taking it for having sore ears and a runny nose.

No, that is the standard dosage, however, the symptoms you've described can be normal side effects of this medication, which should go away after you finish your course of treatment, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if they become severe, you should consult your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I started taking this (teva 3109) Amoxicillin 500 mg on Monday and it made my lips start to swell gradually each day. Today is Thursday and my lips have doubled in size. I also have pain in my throat. I have had a severe headache since being on it.
