levaquin?levofloxacin?Should I?

[swiftette]

I've had swollen lymph nodes since October-I had a sinus infection and bronchitis. Well, my Dr. just prescribed this to me, because basically, I'm sick of having alternating sore throats and earaches.Not that they have been that bad, but It's been soooo long.My next thing would be an ear/nose/throat doctor and I do NOT want that because I'm afraid he'll want to use a scope(the thought just freaks me out!!!!)She said it is easy on the stomach. Anyone else take these before?

Levaquin (which belongs to the same class of antibiotics as Cipro) is very gentle. I've taken both Levaquin and Cipro numerous times withoutany problems, aside from some abdominal cramping and mild diarrhea; no nausea whatsoever. Eat yogurt or take probiotic supplements to combat grumbly intestines and take your antibiotics with food. You should be fine. :}

My Mom takes Levaquin everytime she gets a snius infection or bronchitus which is everytime she gets a cold [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]. She's never had so much as a touch of nausea w/ it, she loves it lol. And she's not an emet so she would not fight stomach symptoms.
