I had Botox 3 weeks ago (forehead, glabella and brow lift) Since then I have been diagnosed with cellulitis on my ear lobe. Neither Augmentin or doxycycline was working alone, so now I am on both doxycycline and levofloxacin together and this is working. My question is will either of these medications interact with my cosmetic treatments . I read muscle weakness is a concern with Levaquin and should I ask the EMT to change this one to prevent eyelid drooping?
