What Causes Severe Headache After Having Antibiotics?

I seen a Nurse Practioner on Friday afternoon for sore throat and body and head ache. She diagnosed me with Strep throat and prescribed me with an antibiotic. My throat and body aches got better, but my headache has gotten worse. About every 10-30 sec it feels like someone is jabbing a needle or something thru the right side of my head. Almost knocked me to my knees when walking on a couple occasions.

HI
Well come to HCM
Such symptoms are very common in any infection and this is happening due to some inflammatory process, and for this better to have the following medicines
1) Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg as per needed
2) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg as per needed
this is nothing to worry everything would be okay soon, take care.
