Advice on illness please?!


Question: Advice on illness please?
On Valentine's night I started feeling poorly with a sore throat, well that turned out into flu like symptoms. The next day I felt worse, it was so hard for me to breathe because my nose was so blocked and it felt like my throat was blocked also. So I tried to get into my doctors but like normal they never had any spaces left, so I went to the walk in centre. That is a walk in doctors for anyone. I only got to see a nurse practitioner and she checked everything from chest to ears and she said nothing was wrong with me and I should just gurgle salt water. A week later I started to feel worse, and worse so I got into the doctors this time and the doctor told me I have an air way infection which is giving me the sore throat and it is all inflamed which is causing my air way to close slightly and an ear infection. I am on steroids and anti-biotic's now. I have noticed that my temp keeps going up and my mouth is getting very very dry and my body is getting very itchy. Could this be because of my tablets I am on? Should I go back to the doctors? thanks

Answers:

yes, go back to the doctor. Itchiness could be that you are having a reaction to the antibiotic. Drink a lot of clear fluid in the meantime, and try to keep any fevers under control. Alternate between tylenol and ibuprofen to keep fever down. Quit taking the antibiotic until you know it's not an allergy.



I would defiantly go back to the docta or the walk in centre at your local hospital just to e on the safe side! Don't suffer in silence! Xx



Go to the doctor, don't sit and suffer.
