Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Levofloxacin can cause allergic reaction.

Inspite of that, you might take Azithromycin that has very good response in Bronchitis.
Now coming to your query. To answer exactly, i need more details:
1. What dose of levofloxacin have you taken?

Are my allergic symptoms life threatening.
Brief Answer:

Dear Friend.
You have not answered any of my question!
As such just a rash followed by Levaquin intake is called as Fixed Drug Eruption.
Any drug reaction can be dangerous if the reaction is systemic and severe.
I would advise you to get in touch with your doctor.
As far as your question is concerned, Levaquin must have left your body by now, if your Kidney functions are normal and you had taken it in normal dosage.
The drug eruption would take time to improve.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
