poor you - hopefully the illness is running its course and you will be better soon

you would know if your ear drum popped.. a tide of goo would pour out after than, and the pain would be mostly over.


you might find decongestion treatments might help - you know towel over basin of hot water.. lemsip type things

and drinking lots is good too.

No hun I don't, I hope your feeling better now.

Mine is getting worse, and I am getting fed up with it now. Guess I will be going to the Gp again on Monday.

I went to the doctors this morning.... It IS an ear infection, and a probable chest infection (I have the symptoms but he couldn't hear it with the steth.)

So, I have anti-biotics. I am on my 3rd day resting in bed (forced OH to take the day off work) and so should start recovering soon.

thanks for all the help and hugs, you guys are great

Yikes, hope you get better soon with the ABs. Actually given it is that time of year I haven't heard too many people mentioning colds or flu of late, not like last year when it seemed everyone was sick over Xmas and January.

Good, I'm glad you went. Now plenty of fluids, rest and warmth and you'll be sorted in a few days.

good glad you have the antibots. i know.. we dont like taking them, but the point is to take them when you really need them.. and it sounds like right now you do.

hopefully you should be lots better soon.
