I'm a bit worried because I took Norflox TZ on an empty stomach this morning, and about an hour later, I noticed that my lower lip started to swell slightly. I remembered a similar thing happened last year when I took Levofloxacin. I quickly took Allegra and stopped the Norflox TZ. Do you think I might be allergic to it?

The recurrence of lip swelling after taking Norflox TZ, similar to your previous reaction to Levofloxacin, suggests a possible allergy or hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics; it's essential to consult your doctor or an allergist to discuss the reactions and determine the best course of action for future antibiotic treatments, as they may recommend alternative antibiotics or allergy testing.
