Doctors! Grrrr RANT

EmmanBump · Sep 11th, 2009, 12:33 PM

Some of you may know i havent been very well lately ( feels like i have the flu) ...
well ive just been to the doctors, which ive had to wait three days for! The doctor said i have a sinus infection and chest infection (I feel like im dying and cant eat because my glands are sooo swollen!) but he wont give me any antibiotics because im young and i should be able to fight it off by myself!
Im so bloody angry, I have a massive headche, a throat that feels like ive swallowed a thousand razor blands, a horrible flemmy cough, a high temperature and my eyes ae constantly stinging and he wants me to just carry on like this

i just want to ring them back up and scream at them!
Anyone know anythig other than lemsip and cough medicine to help? x

Sleep?

and a nice warm bath may loosen your chest a bit cos of the steam.

Not great advice but just want to send you

and hope you feel better soon.

All I can suggest is to keep hydrated, get tons of rest, and take a few hot steamy showers a day to fight off the fever.

Hmmm well, I really cant suggest too much as you're pregnant, but what I can say is fluids, rest, TheraFlu, and the cough syrup, maybe some cough drops, like halls or something, maybe some vick vapor rub. Im sorry ur doctos is so irritating. Last month I had infection also and since Im "young" he wouldnt give me anything, he said it wasnt necessary my immune system should take care of it. What kind of crap is that? I hope that you feel better soon.

well the only thing that might help a bit is honey and lemon. also cherry tomatoes are great coz they have more vitamin c in than an orange. when we get ill in my house, these are what i use and although we still get a cold it doesnt last as long because of all the vitamin c. DS had a cold last week which he gave to me and now its gone from the house.

Regarding sinus problems, i recommend vicks in a bowl of hot water and head under a towel and sniff. Other than the above the only thing you can have is paracetamol.hope it helps and you feel better soon

thanks girls im gonan try all of this! i have vicks all over chest and back at the minute but definitely gonna try that steam thing.
Im just annoyed tht he wont help because im young! grr

Apparently 20 year olds( Im 20 also) dont really get too sick lol. I think we should talk to someone about this.

EmmanBump · Sep 11th, 2009, 12:58 PM

i think that we should too! we should stand our ground lol

Bee70 · Sep 11th, 2009, 13:09 PM

I'd take paracetamol.. will help with the pain and help you get more rest, so you'll feel better. For the sinuses, either take vicks, or there is some stuff called 'forehead' which i love - is a menthol stick you rub on your forehead (but under nose good for sinuses).
