What Causes Rash On The Legs While On Levofloxacin For Chest Infection?
About a month ago I was prescribed levofloxacin for a chest infection. I developed a rash on my legs but kept taking the 7 day prescription. I still have part of the rash and bumps on my ankles up to my knees and on my back and arms, the worst of it on the ankles. Will this go away? How can I treat it at home?

Hello,
It could be an allergic reaction.
As a first line management you can take antihistamines like cetirizine for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
