I've been diagnosed with a pretty bad sinus infection
and have to travel tomorrow on business 
.
I warned my PCP about my sleeve and said that, no, I absolutely did not want to take Augmentin 875 twice a day for 10 days. (I could barely tolerate it when I had an intact stomach.
)
She prescribed levofloxacin 500 mg/10 days. I've never taken that before and am somewhat nervous about the side effects, especially when flying
.
Does anyone have experience with this drug, and/or which antibiotics have worked well for you post-sleeve?
