pneumonia
"After being laid low for a week with agonising painful throat and ears plus coughing up gunk and fever, took myself to walk-in medical centre ( live in UK) on a sat and prescribed amoxcillin 500mg as ear infection although told chest clear (v surprised). Got progressively worse, coughed all night and struggled for breath plus pain in ears and throat was horrendous ( I do have high pain theshold too !) and ended up getting emergency GP apptm thur am and diagnosed pneumonia and prescribed clarithromycin 500mg for 7 days. Feel better already ! Yes odd taste but I can swallow without grimacing and aren`t taking max painkillers per day as I was plus can eat again and chest so much better. No other symptoms. Good antibiotic :)"
