What Causes Severe Headache While On Bactrim For Prostate Infection?

Bactrim may cause headache, need more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your concern
Bactrim may cause headache and aseptic meningitis as a side effect but that responds well to pain killers
Since your cardiac profile is normal so I would advise you to consult a neurologist for physical examination, an MRI and MRV to establish a diagnosis for headache.
Here I would like to know are you having any problems with vision, are you feeling giddiness or is it one sided headache or affecting entire headache?
You might have developed drug induced gastritis thats why you are having less appetite so I would advise you to take pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drug with antacids for 3 to 5 days.
Avoid coffee, wine and high fatty and spicy food
you should try some relaxation exercise and stress management techniques.
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
waiting for your reply
Best wishes


Please upload me the reports
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Since your neurological work up is normal so you need not to worry about meningitis
High grade fever might be associated with headache
Here I would like to know if you are having chills and rigor during fever and headache and which area of head is involved?
Please upload me all the relevant reports like CBC, liver function test and urine test, if these tests are not ordered than I would advise you for these test along with an X ray PNS.
You should avoid wine for some time and you can take paracetamol for fever and headache.
Hope this answers your question
