General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Its possible that you have suffered from an ellergic reaction from levofloxacin which was mild that's why your body combat it itself within few minutes. But you have to be careful next time you take your medicine because more severe reaction can also occur and you will be needing emergency treatment.
