The doctor at the ER said she didn’t see anything in my ear (assuming the infection cleared up?) but I had only taken 11 of the 30 doses. I stopped taking the antibiotics for 6 days and I started up again last night (which I know I should’ve waited for my doctor to come back bc he’s on vacation and you should never stop taking antibiotics.) I took them because it seems like the ear pain has come back. now I’m on my 3rd dose and I’m worried that I’ll develop complications from the ear infection and die because it’s somewhat untreated. I can’t sleep or think about anything else. So worried. I’ve seen articles about people who die from ear infections. Welp.

Sorry that you have to suffer like this,health anxieties can be so upsetting.I know because I get them.When I get an infection I usually take the meds about three days I dont take them all at once,I have this thing that I should save them just in case I get sick again because in my mind I may need them again,Why take all of them at once if we dont need them?I never heard of someone dying of an ear infection maybe unless it spreads everywhere else.When something upsets me I cannot sleep at all.It is a feeling like I have to much adrenaline.I think that is what part of anxieties are just to much adrenaline.I hope u can feel better.If you need to talk I am here. Do you always have the feeling like something bad is going to happened I do whenever I wake up until the time I go to bed
