A member asked:

Been out of sinus surgery for 4 days. been on ciprofloxacin for the same amount of time. i think the anesthesia is now fully gone and i have a headache. can i take ibuprofen? (allergic to tylenol + bronchiectasis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cipro,ibuprofen : Most people will have no problem taking the 2 meds, but there are reports of seizures in people who have taken these 2 meds together. Presence of chronic kidney disease could also pose a problem. Your pharmacist could advise you further about this matter.

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
