that's good timing
I'm just back from the hospital. the doctor took one look inside my mouth and said "yuck!" and gave me a double-dose of antibiotics

me too
he said if it's improving after three days to go down to the normal dose. I'm feeling utterly done-in just from being driven to the hospital by my mum, sitting waiting for 50 minutes, three minutes being seen, back to the car to the chemist, a few minutes while they filled the prescription and home again. I'm wrapped in a blanket in all teh pain and shiveriness now

*sobs like a baby*

ah, if it's bacterial
you'll feel better really quickly. did he swab your throat to test for strep? if not, he's a charlatan, and should be burned ;)

no, he didn't swab
he could barely bring himself to look. he said it was a particularly nasty infection

you can't tell the difference between viral and bacterial otherwise, state of the NHS I don't know *muttermuttermutter MRSA*

should shift it in a day or two though if it is a strep job :D here's hoping
