Prednsione and Levaquin are counter-indicated -they shouldn't be taken together. It enhances the chances of an adverse reaction.
An adverse reaction to Levaquin isn't just a stomach ache. It can be an Achilles Tendon rupture, Peripheral Neuropathy (burning, tingling, pain, all over the body), chronic tendonitis in the wrists and ankles, liver failure, psychosis, neuritis, Stevens Johnson Syndrome, and other scary stuff.
Professional Athletes and race horses are never given Levaquin. Wanna guess why? One pill, and you might never be able to throw a baseball again. Give Levaquin to a million dollar racehorse, and his value goes to zero -even if a reaction doesn't develop. Some people have their Achilles Tendons rupture 2 years after taking Levaquin.
Levaquin, Cipro, and Avelox are some of the most dangerous drugs on the market.
Prednisone also has nasty side-effects.
The itching might be a reaction to the Levaquin -the beginning of something really nasty. That's how it started with me. 2 weeks later, I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs or type. My recovery from the drug has been 4 months.
See if you can switch to Augmentin. I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you need sinus surgery to remove the obstruction and clean out the gunk. Don't worry, the surgery is nothing -I went through it in March.
