    Unhappy Ear infection

    OMG!! I've never had one like this!! Half my face is swollen and lymp glands can't cope with getting rid of the infection. Went to a dr this morning asa i couldn't get into my normal one and she told me I had mumps!! `After my face and ear started swelling more i went into my normal dr and just waited until he could see me.
    Gave me antibiotics and pain relief (not that it's helping much) and told me to come back tomorrw.

    It's KILLING me!!!!!!!!! I've never had anything like it.
    ARGHHHHHHH

    Ouch! I had one of these a few months ago and it was so painful. I remember waking up in the middle of the night with my teeth aching because the pressure was so great, and my face was all puffy. Its awful!

    The anti-biotics cleared it up pretty quickly, hopefully you will feel better in a day or two.

    I have strep throat at the moment and my lymph glands are all swollen and my face is all painful again, it feels kind of similar. I join you in pain! I think I will take some nurofen....

    Oh no! And so close to your wedding!

    I hope the super injection of anti-biotics kicks in soon. If you have to go to hospital, will they put you on IV anti-biotics?

    My stupid throat is still killing me, but its not as bad as your poor ear/face/neck.
