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.
I'm sorry you are also going through this. Health anxiety can literally take over everything else. I wish I had something more useful to say to you, but given that I am also convinced there is something seriously wrong with me, I honestly don't know what is useful to say anymore. It's easy to assume the worst when you believe your symptoms are a certain way, but it's often not the case and what we think is something serious turns out to be something minor. I hope we can both find our peace of mind soon.
