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.

During the cold season, I find I keep sneezing if I wake up around 7 am. It lasts for about an hour. But if I get up later, like after 8 or 9, it doesn't seem to bother me much. I'm kind of worried about what's causing this and what I can do to help it. Any thoughts?

Azeflo nasal spray sos for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor switched me to Allegra 180 instead of Montair LC. I've been taking Allegra 180 but it's not really helping much. Could I go back to taking Montair LC since it worked well for me before?

Yes You can use any of them but montek lc causes more sedation over allegra.
