Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I readfruits fully your question and I understand your concern. I am sorry for what it is happening.
Seems like you have been in the hospital and taken some treatment.
Levofloxacine will help you to treat a possible infection, but it needs around 24 hours to start working. It is a very good medicine.
Codeine will help you with the pain and the other one will help with constipation.
One your side it is very important that you avoid hard foods for some days. Use soups with fibers, lots of fruits and vegetables.
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
