Danger of infection from facelift

I had a mini-facelift and there is an inflammation by one of my ears at the jaw line.  The surgeon started me on a z-pack and then added Levaquin (both at the same time.)  I know that you are never supposed to get infections with a pacemaker.  If this doesn't subside, what will happen to me and what should I do?  The f/l is great but this is scary.

You should definitely call your cardiologist and tell him what is going on and what medications you are taking.   Good luck.

Seems to me you should check with your cardiologist.  

Perhaps a pacemaker wearer will read and add some value.  Your subject doesn't connect will with your question.  If you don't get any help you might want to try a subject more to the experience of this community, such as:  Danger of infection and pacemakers
