Let doc know: Best to address would be your doc. There is no known drug-drug interaction Augmentin lithium, but Augmentin can cause headaches. So do infections and fever.

Headache: Agree with earlier response. No reported drug interactions btwn Lithium and Augmentin. REF: www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=1477-885,189-84 / Your headaches may be related to your infection or to augmentin. Discuss with prescribing provider.
