Strep throat headache
Hi, 33f 5’2 132lbs. Non smoker. McArdle’s Disease, but I don’t know if that’s super relevant to this, just trying to cover my tracks on the post. I’ve had strep throat since symptoms Monday this week and have been on amoxicillin clav 125mg since Tuesday after seeing a doctor. Things have gotten a lot better. My throat doesn’t hurt as much, there are not as many white spots, my fever is gone, and my body aches are gone. Except the headache that’s been everlasting since Tuesday. I slept pretty much all day Tuesday. I was exhausted and barely could stay awake. So when I wasn’t seeing a doctor, I was sleeping all day. I didn’t eat Tuesday because it really hurt to swallow and my stomach kind of hurt. Yesterday was better, I finally felt better later in the day and ate some food but still had a headache but didn’t sleep all day. Today I woke up and the headache seems worse. Any time I stand up it is a straight pain to the head. Trying to go to the bathroom is crummy because any pushing hurts. I have taken my 1 out of 2 doses of my migraine medication topiramate 25mg. I also took a liquid iv this morning hoping to just get more electrolytes in me thinking I’m just lacking nutrients and that’s why the headache is so persistent. I had breakfast this morning a yogurt and a cheese stick. Planning on making eggs later for lunch. Wanted to make sure I keep that down this morning. Any advice on how to rid this headache is appreciative or if there’s something I’m missing and am not doing. Thank you 🙏🏻
