I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

However those symptoms you mention are not related to the levemir pen, are not associated with it. I believe another cause is to be sought. Most likely it is an upper respiratory tract infection which might need treatment with decongestant and antibiotics, but the diagnosis must be confirmed first through an exam from your primary physician or an ENT specialist.

I hope to have been of help.
