I've had a case of pneumonia for almost 3 weeks total now. Went to the clinic about a week ago and he gave me an antibiotic, Levoquin, and Singulair. Told me to call my doctor if I wasn't feeling better in 5 days, but my doctor's office has been closed since Wednesday for New Years. Makes me wish I had become a doctor, then I could take a week off work for a made up holiday.
I'm gonna call my doc on Monday, but I already know how it's gonna go. They're going to tell me either i can make an appointment, which will be 4-6 weeks away, or I can go to the hospital. I'm not going to the fucking hospital! Period. End of discussion. So my only real option is to go back to the clinic.
So, is there anything I should ask the doctor at the clinic for? Is there a stronger antibiotic? Something that can be injected? Would something like Decadron help? Is there something I should be doing to help get better that I don't know about? Any and all suggestions are relevant. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I'm really sick of it sounding like a bowl of rice crispies when I breathe.
