I recently finished a 3rd course of antibiotics for sinus and ear infections, about 4 days ago I had my upper right bicuspid tooth extracted and still having the sinus condition finishing my course of Augmentin 875mg after 14 days.

I tried to explain to the Dentist my concern of my overall poor health and battles with infection and asked him not for any pain medication, (I have that from pain management,) and he refused to place on antibiotic despite my request concern of my immune system being down.

And now I am having terrible acute ear pain with blood in the ear canal when gently putting a cotton swab into the ear.

My jaw and tooth missing area are throbbing and have a terrible headache, and am unsure what to do and wondered if anyone could be of assistance on rater to wait it out? Take the lortab and pain meds, wait and make an appointment with my MD, or go the the Emergency Room for quicker examination?

I am so down and sick,on top of being in a major depressive phase and suffering.

My only outside contacts are my Borderline Mentally Disturbed Mother, who drives me places, and my father who is an alcoholic and cant be depended on. My mothers husband pretty much has refused to help me in any way and my siblings are as all the above 'busy' and it just adds to the depression feeling a burden and having it justified by being pacified by denial of the overall picture literally being left here with no means of transportation except when I make mom mad by taking me to the doctor when it is inconvenient for her.

Mother cant find time in her schedule to even take me to the hospital and have no public transportation and she came last evening and I was in bed and she shoved some sort of pill (musinex?) in my mouth and then did some things around the apartment and now she is at church and even when she is here I am alone.

Any suggestions, or experience, advise is greatly appreciated, other than to put a OTC pill in my mouth when half conscious and leave me here. Thank you please help. The computer is all I have second to God.

Thank you please if you believe say a quick prayer for me and my entire desperate situation, sincerely krzyk101
