Is it typical to experience a persistent headache on the same side as a dental extraction five days post-procedure, even after completing a prescribed regimen of aceclofenac 200 mg SR and cephalexin 500 mg?
While some discomfort is common as your body heals, a continuous headache five days post-extraction is something we want to monitor. This can sometimes be due to referred pain from the extraction site, jaw muscle tension, or a condition called dry socket, which can happen after the protective clot dislodges. Since you have completed your cephalexin and aceclofenac, I highly recommend consulting your dentist for a brief follow-up.
