can’t get a gp appointment

I’ve tried for the past two days to get a gp appointment for a blocked, very painful ear, that I think is infected. It started the night before last following 3 weeks of a horrific cold. And despite phoning bang on 8 each morning I can’t get an appointment until after dh has gone to work with the car at 2pm

The pain is unbearable and actually makes me cry and paracetamol or ibuprofen don’t seem to be touching it

I’m not sure what else I can do. Home remedies aren’t working and I have no transport after 2pm to get to out of hours

I’m sorry for the woe is me post, but I’m feeling so sorry for myself and just want to feel better

@punishmepunisher dh detoured to a 24hr pharmacy nearby and got me some nurofen plus on his way home from work last night, which has been keeping the pain at bay thankfully
