Could an allergy to the antibiotic avelox have caused my legs to swell and be painful to touch. i was given them for an infected graze on my leg.

Possibly: Pleae stop the medicine and check with your doctor before resuming it, it could be an allergic reaction, side effect, interaction with other medicine you are on or a spread of the infection, all such warrants re-evaluation, wish you wellness
