AiBU to not go A&E?
so basically about 4 weeks ago got severe ear ache and throat ache (suffer really badly with tonsillitis). i tried to ride it out with over counter medicines and sprays but nothing was working so eventually went to the Gp. She diagnosed tonsillitis and ear infection started me on penicillin for 10 days. but over the course of the last 4 weeks i have had a temperature that comes and goes with pain killers of about 38.5° i also have a ill child so spent a week in hospital with him so even though i haven't been well i haven't actually stopped. My husband is away with work atm but fast forward to yesterday i woke up with temp of 39.8° all day it stayed near about that not coming down less than 39.5° so i called our GP extened access and they were able to offer me and appointment today. When i went GP saw it and said tonsils have gone huge and infection worse. temperature has stayed in the 39° all day today. GP started on ciprofloxacin but said if temps get any higher i should go straight to A&e as she would be concerned about sepsis. however i have been in bed with my sick child and no family close by i havent been able to go A&e but my temp is now 39.8 and i feel rubbish dont know what to do. just looked in mirror and tonsils look disgusting Throat is in agony cant even stand due to temp. By the way i should add DS has lung condition required oxygen and is on NG fed so not like i can just leave him with anyone. DH had said he would try come back earlier than planned but not sure what to do in meantime. i am all dosed out on naproxen and cocodomol.
