Headache
A headache is a discomfort or pain in the scalp, head or neck. Tight, contracted muscles in the jaw, scalp, neck and shoulders are the most common cause of headaches. Taking amoxicillin may also cause mild headaches, which may occur once or frequently.
One possible way to avoid getting headaches from amoxicillin is to take the medication with meals and drink plenty of water. The headaches resulting from the use of amoxicillin may also be relieved with medications used to treat headaches and migraines.
