Hello,
It may be due to penicillin or due to a higher dose of Ibuprofen. To reduce the dose and observe the symptoms.
Use tablet Vertin thrice a day for five days. Check blood pressure.
If symptoms not responding please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
