A member asked:
I have had a positive strep test and am on day 2 of antibiotics. i'm currently having a severe headache. my fever is back up to 101.2. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: I would suggest Advil or Aleve for the headache ( if not allergic to these medications). The headache is most likely related to your infection. Please carefully follow dosing directions and always take medicine on a full stomach. If allergic to aspirin or NSAIDS, you can use Tylenol (acetaminophen) as directed.
