• Headache
  
  
  

  Rest and drink plenty of fluids. Do not drink too much alcohol. Ask a pharmacist to recommend a painkiller if you need one.

  
  

  Talk to your doctor if the headaches last longer than a week or are severe.

  
  
  
  Stomach pain
  
  
  

  Try to rest and relax. It can help to eat and drink slowly and have smaller and more frequent meals. Putting a heat pad or covered hot water bottle on your stomach may also help.

  
  

  If you're in a lot of pain, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.

  
  
  
  Diarrhoea
  
  
  

  Drink lots of fluids, such as water or squash, to avoid dehydration. Speak to a pharmacist if you have signs of dehydration, such as peeing less than usual or having strong-smelling pee. Do not take any other medicines to treat diarrhoea without speaking to a pharmacist or doctor.

  
  

  If you take the combined contraceptive pill or the progestogen-only pill and you have severe diarrhoea for more than 24 hours, your contraception may not protect you from pregnancy. Check the pill packet for advice.

  
  
  
  Feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting)
  
  
  

  Stick to simple meals and do not eat rich or spicy food. It might help to take your fluconazole after a meal or snack.

  
  

  If you're being sick, try small, frequent sips of water to avoid dehydration. Signs of dehydration include peeing less than usual or having strong-smelling pee.

  
  

  If you take the combined contraceptive pill or the progestogen-only pill and you're being sick, your contraception may not protect you from pregnancy. Check the pill packet for advice.

  
  
  
  Rash
  
  
  

  It may help to take an antihistamine, which you can buy from a pharmacy. Check with the pharmacist to see what type is right for you.

  
  

  If the rash gets worse, or does not get better, speak to your doctor.
