Could Constant Headaches Be The Withdrawal Symptom Of Cipro?

I went on cipro due to groin pain. the dr thought maybe I had an infection. a few days after finishing the dose, I started getting headaches. they seem to center in front and top of my head. when I bend over or cough it really hurts. its been going on for a good month now and has been constant. thanks for any help.

Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Mild headache is one of the side effect of cipro. But is less likely to continue even after finishing the dose.
Your symptoms are more indicative of Frontal sinusitis.
I advice you to perform stream inhalation two to three times a day for few days. You can also use over the counter anti histamine medication also.
If it persists after this conservative management I advice you to see a doctor to rule out any allergy and for examination.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
