Consistent Severe Headache (Sinus infection)

Hi,
I came to the conclusion that I had a sinus infection because I was feeling serious pressure in my head, had terribly backed up sinuses, and an achey body. I was prescribed a zpack on Tuesday and last night I took my day 3 pill. At this point it felt like the antibiotics were working well and i was feeling better and better. I started to get a headache last night when I went out for pizza and the place was playing loud music- but nothing severe. When I got home I had 2 beers and by midnight my headache really started pounding. I laid in bed til I fell asleep but just woke up at 4am from my headache worsening. My body is aching terribly too and I feel weak. My head almost feels like there's fluid inside it but I could be wrong. Whatever is going on doesn't feel right though.

If anyone has any suggestions as to what this could be please let me know

I do know that severe sinus infections  can cause flu like symptoms, and people also have reactions to many kinds of medicines. Maybe it's one or the other?  Although I'm betting on the first. Either way, the doctor would be your best bet at this point.

Remember, when taking antibiotics, all of the good and bad bacteria are being killed off inside of your body. If you can stand it, take raw garlic during and after the round of antibiotics. Crush one clove daily and let it sit for 10 minutes, and take it with milk or something that will soothe your stomach and stop the burning. The garlic kills off a lot of the bad bacteria, while leaving the good. Thus giving your gut the ability to populate it's self properly.
