Brief Answer:
Stop baycip and take only levocet. Follow the rest things.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I have reviewed attached image. First of all, you should STOP taking BAYCIP due to adverse reaction like swollen lip. It is a hypersensitivity reaction of above drug (Ciprofloxacin).

You can take LEVOCET as prescribed by your doctor. Some additional things need to be done for swollen lip.

1) Cold compression over lip for 5 to 10 min with Ice Cube.

2) Apply freshly extracted Aloe Vera gel or juice on the affected lip.

3) 1% Hydrocortisone cream can be applied if swelling persists despite of using above treatment.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Yes, you can take Cetirizine for this allergy. However, LEVOCET and Cetirizine are same group of drug. Both are equally effective.
