Really unwell after dental surgery

hi all! Last week I had an extraction and two implants. It was and remains quite painful but worse is that I am also really unwell. I was given amoxicillin but that made me very sick so I had to stop. However I have had a horrendous headache since then along with flu like symptoms - really achy bones. I am totally incapacitated! I am pretty sure I don’t have an infection as the pain around implants is reducing. But I just feel so unwell. I am not sure if it is a reaction to the surgery, to the ABs, or ‘just’ a terrible migraine. Any one had similar experiences?

This is the second time I’ve heard someone say it this week. Ring the surgery and go back in. You possibly do have an infection that needs draining, or possibly stronger antibiotics as the infection has moved deeper.
