Ans: Well hard to say. You a vague in your description. It could be you are not drinking enough water since apparently this is what caused your illness. Dehydration can precipitate headaches

Antibiotic SEs: If the antibiotic you took was trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, it certainly could be. This antibiotic can cause a mild meningitis - don't worry it's not 'thee' meningitis you've heard about...This is a medication effect and should go away on it's own. If it doesn't you absolutely need further evaluation. Would call your doc if you have a stiff neck, fevers, rash or other symptoms of concern.
