The Cellar - View Single Post - I had to go to the Emergency Room Last Night

I dunno - I usually get a response to antibiotics within 12 hours. Which I assumed was usual AND the reason that they admonished you to finish the course.

The exception was my horrible cough last year, which went on for three weeks and I eventually went to the doctors because my pharmacist recommended it and gave me a leaflet on lung cancer (I didn't meet the At Risk groups, so I never thought it was that!) It didn't clear up until the 5th day, so I assumed it was indeed viral and had just run its course.

I'm willing to accept that my experiences might have been unusual though.
