I forgot to update after yesterday's doctor's appt. I definitely have a mild infection, but it's one that he thinks will go away without antibiotics. He did give me a prescription for amox, but I'm trying a combo of 600mg of Ibuprofen and 60mg of Sudaphed thrice a day first. Seems to be working so far -- although my voice is pretty close to shot, my throat is much better, and the ears are almost pain-free (if still a bit clogged).
The doctor was also surprised by how old I was. I think he thought I was a student. Guess I should be flattered. :-)

Anyway, glad to hear you're feeling somewhat better. I hope you feel fit as a fiddle in no time. Take it easy, man.

Date: 2003-10-17 12:29 am (UTC)Glad to hear it. Both because that indicates it isn't serious, and because I find the tendency of many doctors to overprescribe antibiotics a little scary. :)
Feel better!
