Back to the doctors

So my sinus infection turned out to be worse today. I went back to the doctors, he checked me back over, including listened to me breathing as I was raspy and short of breath.

Come to find out, I have a double ear infection, 3 way sinus infection, and stage 1 phnuemonia(sp). So I am taking prednisone a steroid for 13 days, and zithromax a one time dosage today, and robitussin DM for cough and chest congestion.

The doc actually acidentally popped my ear drum today too, it sucked. He was sticking the instrament(sp) that looks inside the ears, and the ear drum was sooooo swollen it popped. So I had blood and puss running out of my ear for a while, until he flushed it out, so im now completely but temporarily deaf in my right ear lol.

So that was my adventure for today, im going to go take my zithromax, sit on the couch, and feel loopy lol.

thank you! It stinks but the meds have started helping better than I thought. My nasal congestion is almost 100% gone already, my ears don't hurt as bad, and are no longer clogged which is nice. My throat, chest and cough are still here, and im sure it will be for a few more days.

DH ran me a bath and gave me a nice body massage so im feeling sooo much better, now all I have to do is eat the chicken noodle soup he just made me lol.

I'm so sorry girl!! At least they caught it before it became even worse! Pneumonia is the worst thing because sometimes ppl can have it nearly to dying and not realize it til it's too late! I'll be praying that you get better!

Keep that ear clean and dry, and use whatever drops they give you.
