Not sure what penicillin you have, but it's possible it's not doing the trick. Sound like you better go in. Let them know what drug you were taking that was helping. Good luck.

Did the Dr. not tell you the nature of the infection/problem. If not, I would definitely find another doc. Also, there are much better antibiotics out there than penicillin.

Good luck.

Can you tell I used to practice law?

If you're still with us....let us know

To me it sounds like a sinus infection...is the snot and mucus a bright yellow almost flourescent color??? Do you have pain in your forehead as well and under your eyes???

Gaseous bloating??? Oh, forget that, its something else

If the above applies, you need antibiotics, and its likely a sinus infection since you indicated that it keeps recurring....When you get sinus infections, you develop polyps in your sinus cavity and they store bacteria and infection. This is why it keeps coming back....you are drooling likely because you cannot breathe properly through your nose at night, so you lay there with your mouth open which often causes sleep apnea which is why you are so tired....

I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night

aww dang i thought i got back to you guys, yea im still alive and doing good, i went to the doctor he sent me to a ear neck and throat specialest, i went there for them to tell me i have an absessed tonsil, no friggin clue what that is, they either had to put me on medicine or go down my throat and lance it open and drain the fluid out of it. so i chose option "a" and took the medicine route, they put me on some kinda really strong antibiotic thats bright blue pill called clindamycin, some sort of mild steroid to reduce the swelling so i can swollow, they also gave me hydrocodone for the pain, im not in any pain no more so im not takin the hydros but i got a few more days of the blue pill and roids then i should be good, im feelin perdy good now, thanks for caring about this guy means alot
