Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Swollen Tongue

I was on levaquin which caused severe pain in my osteoarthritic knees so I stopped taking after 5 doses. Saw my new doc Tuesday was given a steroid injection and put on ceftin 500 mg. Today I feel slightly dizzy and my tongue feels slightly burny and maybe swollen. What to do?
