Paging Dr. ML...

[Deleted]

DH wants me to go to urgent care but I don't think my symptoms warrant it, yet. I've been sick since Sunday. Sore throat (worse at night), no voice, coughing, headache, ears are hurting some, chest is hurting. I haven't had any fever, my nose is barely running and I have been sleeping a ton. Would you go or tough it out a couple more days? I am taking Dayquil, Nyquil, Net pot, flonase, hot tea and lots of rest.

My decision to go is always based on how much I can stand.

I'd wait, but I always wait. How bad is the chest pain? It's the only symptom giving me pause, all the rest could just be a cold.

[Bernadine]

I had similar symptoms earlier this year, and waited a week and half/two weeks.

[lovelyshoes]

Chest and ears hurting? I'd go in at this point.

[rachers]

I'd probably go. But I'm biased because DH had similar symptoms months ago and his cough still hasn't gone away.

Plus I hate feeling miserable.

[happywife]

I would go. I wish I had gone in sooner than I did. I had an upper resp infection that required antibiotics.

[happywife]

I hope you feel better soon!

[FastHands]

I usually wait a week unless I'm having intense ear pain (I don't get them as often now, but I was very prone to ear infections when I was younger).

[karmasabiotch]

I tend to go because I want to try to prevent things from getting worse.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks everyone. My doctors office called me while I was reading your replies to remind me of my physical next week and told me to come in to be seen based upon my symptoms. Ten days of amoxicillin for me. Blah, I'm glad I went though.
