So rang GPs in the morning appointment for afternoon……with a prescribing pharmacist.
She was quite abrupt, sats normal at 97, temp normal and chest clear……….told me I hadn’t got a chest infection but gave me 5 days of antibiotics just in case?
I wouldn’t have bothered them normally and only now because of it being 3 weeks, but now I wish I hadn’t……she did say if it didn’t clear up in a week then she’d organise a chest X-ray…..
I really hope you feel better soon 💞 3 weeks is a long time to feel unwell so you definitely did the right thing to contact the dr.

I hope you’re taking a couple of days off work to rest up and hopefully the antibiotics will help xx
