On Monday to Wednesday I was off sick with a bug, I was vommitting a lot. I went back to work today but took a few hours off to see the GP in the middle of the day.
I was being sick fairly frequently and not much liquid was getting through my system, so as a result, I now have cystitis. I could actually cry at this after such a miserable start to the week. Since this morning, I have taken 5 sachets of the cystitis powder and some painkillers, and it has steadily got worse through the day. I am so annoyed for not mentioning it to the doctor earlier but it wasn't too bad then.
I have got a whole day of meetings tomorrow which have been pushed back from the early part of the week so I cannot cancel them to go to the doctor.
I was given some amoxicillin about 4 months ago by the doctor for a chest infection (they also gave me oral steroids to try first, which worked so I never took the antibiotics).
On the side of the box it says that amoxicillin is used to treat UTIs. Can I just take them for this? I appreciate that this isn't the ideal situation but I cannot get to the doctor tomorrow and am in quite a bit of pain already!
