So I first became unwell nearly 2 weeks ago, started with a cough and fever, then a week ago I woke up in the night with excruciating earache- called 111, got an out of hours appointment, given antibiotics (amoxicillan)
Come last Tuesday I was so full of cold, my head was so pressured i was crying, I was coughing loads and felt so unwell. Rang GP who changed antibiotics said ear still infected and likely sinus infection too.
By Friday I was feeling a bit better, the pressure had got better and my ear was manageable so thought finally something is working.
Yesterday morning woke with excruciating ear ache again and pain all in the left side of my head and face, phoned 111 who prescribed me stronger codeine.
Today no pain meds are touching the pain, I've tried hot water bottle too. My left side of my head is throbbing so much, so painful, I can't chew because it hurts so much 😩 I'm full of cold again too!
Still taking antibiotics but clearly they are not helping.
Anyone had anything similar?
