What Causes Headache And Throat Pain After Taking Cephalexin?
I am taking cephalexin 500mg following abdominal surgery.... I am experiencing siever jaw and throat and headache Pain when I try to eat .. I do not seem to have the same intense feeling until I take the next dose of the med.... Could this be to strong a dose fore me... It is a capsule so I can t divide it.
Headache, sore throat might be side effects of Ceohalexin. It's not a strong dose for you, side effects do not depend on dosage. I suggest you to replace it with another antibiotic (Cefaclor), or to consult with your doctor if these complaints persist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
General & Family Physician
