My 19 yr. old son recently starting taking Levaquin for a tonsillitis (throat infection) and he has now had severe chest pains from the Levaquin. Has anyone else reacted this way from this medication and if so, what did you do to get the chest pains to stop. He has stopped taking the Levaquin, however the chest pains have not lessened. When he tries to eat something, the chest pains get worse. Please someone out there help me if you can! I hate to see my son in such pain.

I am so sorry your son is going through this. There are online support groups that might be of some help. check out: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/fqtoxicity/messages
Another website where you might find useful info is www.fqresearch.org
Good luck. It must be horrible to watch your child go through this. My daughter and I both had pneumonia last winter. I took Levaquin and she was given Augmentin. I thank God every day that I was the one who got the Levaquin. I am praying for you and your son.
