Hello,
It is likely that all the symptoms that you posted about have been caused by the infection. A serious infection can present with chills, aches, dizziness, weakness and of course fever.
Levofloxacin is an antibiotic medicine. I assure you that it will start bringing your husbands symptoms down.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
