Is It Normal To Have Body Ache When On Penicillin?
hi,
I had my four widsom teeth pulled and i was started on a course of antibiotics of penicilin for 5 days. Tonight is my last dose , but i have had body ache, feels like i have the flu or something. is this a normal reaction to penicilin?
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth, you have taken medication antibiotic also , dont worry this is not a reaction of Penicillin , bodyache can be due to weather change or may be viral also,
You do is take medication One Capsule Amoxicillin 250 mg three times a day, for 3 days One tablet Combiflame twice daily for 3days One Tablet Vitamin B complex once daily for three days Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
If then you wont get releif then consult physician for this.
This could be due to the side effects of the medication. I would suggest you to take complete rest. Maintain a good oral hygiene, follow the post extraction instructions given to you properly. Also take an antacid along with the medication.
Take care!
