Had tooth extracted due to dental abcess..on pen vk 500 mg..is it ok to feel minor headaches..?

Probably happens.: I would imagine that you could have mild headaches after a dental extraction, and headaches might be a side effect of the antibiotic. I would be concerned if you are getting more severe headaches, fevers - or feeling worse in general. If that's the case, see your dentist again to be re-evaluated. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Headache: Minor headache is ok. Reduce your activities and drink a lot of water.
