Finished 7 days of 500mg levaquin (levofloxacin) 8 days ago for sinus infection. felt better, but today all symptoms have returned. is it possible it didn't clear up?

Well,...: Since you felt better, the infection probably cleared up. You could have picked up another infection (bacterial) or you could have simple overproduction of mucus in your sinuses with increased congestion, often viral in nature, especially at this time of the year. See the Doctor and get an evaluation to better determine if you need an antibiotic or supportive measures to help the congestion.
