What Does Headache After Tooth Removal Suggest?
Question: Hi,
My grandfather is a diabetic patient. His sugar levels are normal at this time. So he went for his front lower 3 teeth removal. It has been 2 days now since his teeth got removed. He is on antibiotics now and his stomach feels bloated and he is having non stop headache since 2 days. He hasn't been able to eat and also feels very low.
Is there something that can be done to reduce headache and feel better?

Brief Answer:
Gastritis, antacids, stress induced hedd ache, analgesic
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
As far as the bloated sensation in the stomach can be because of the gastritis secondary to the antibiotics. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of antacids like ranitidine. Once you stop the antibiotics, it will become normal.
The head ache is not related to the teeth removal, it can be secondary to stress or hypoglycemia. Nothing to worry, you can give an analgesic like diclofenac(if he is not allergic). If it is not reducing in 2 days, then consult a general physician and get it evaluated.
I hope i have answered your query. If any queries are there reply me back.
