Bulging Vein On The Forehead After Taking Levofloxacin To Treat Strep Throat And Ear Infection. Stop Medication?
This morning I took my first dose of Levofloxacin to treat strep and extreme ear infection. I now have a bulging vein (or artery) on the right side of my forehead with swelling underneath the vein above my eye brow. Of course I will discountinue antibiotic immediately but wondered if the swelling is cause for concern. Thank you.

Do consult a Doctor.
