Help, I feel like my doctor misdiagnosed me b/c he's tired of all the swine flu patients?
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and went to my doctors on Tues. b c I felt sick I had a bit of a sore throat and a lot of pressure and achyness around my face. I didn't have any nasal problems. I thought I had the begining stages of a sinus infection.He came in and w in 5 min. said I had strep throat.I had no fever and I have been checking since I'm pregnant and the flu is hitting.My throat wasn't that bad it felt like an allergy sore throat nothing too painfulAlso, I had my tonsils taken out when I was little, so I can't tell you the last time I had strep I mean, I never get it now that my tonsils are gone.My doctor didn't even take a strep culture, which I know you can do the rapid ones in the office and wait 20 mins for the results. He didn't even ask questions that would ween out a sinus infection.He just said " yeah you have strep and here is some low dose amoxicillan since you're pregnant" .I left feeling very unsure. I'm a hypocondriac, so I read up on a lot of medical information and this is a new doctor I'm seeing...everyone swears he's one of the best in my area, but I felt like he was tired of the mass quantity of patients coming in thinking they have the flu.Well I have been taking the medicine for two days and my throat is fine, but it wasn't that sore to begin with. I didn't even see white or yellow spots on the back of my throat. But even though I have been taking my medicine, my head and the pressure around it has still be present. Just like if I had a sinus infection. And this morning I woke up w green mucus when I blew my nose.I don't know what to do b c I don't want to call and say " I know you went to school for 6 8 years, but you're wrong" . But I'm pregnant and I need to get better for my baby and my immune system AND I can't afford to take anymore days off work since I get a limited amount of sick time and it's only October.What do I do?I read that amoxicillan can treat sinus infections but doctors usually use a strong antibiotic such as zithromax or bactrium.Does anyone know anything about my situation??I also read that fevers are common w strep and I haven't had a fever at all...I was floored when he said I had strep...I really feel that I had the beginning of a sinus infection.Ugh..
Are DRs fair to ALL possible swine flu patients?
My brother has flu like symptoms, but because he isn't a " high" concern to doctors for the swine flu they won't test him. According to the Doctor my brother seen, they won't test him because he is not in the group of 5 years and younger or 65 years and older. Is it just me, or is this unfair? Shouldn't we all get equal treatment? What if we have it, and yet they don't want to test us. For example say that patient died and they didn't test them, that hospital could be facing some pretty serious charges if you ask me. Basically neglect to the patient. Why do we pay for medical insurance if we don't get to know what we NEED to know? This is absurd I don't care who you are, everyone should be tested if you have the symptoms. What are your thoughts?
Is H1V1 or swine flu patient die because of the flu or because of the strong antibiotic's injections?
i just wonder as there is no confirm vaccine for the H1V1 flu, how come hospital are giving patient strong injections? like children and old people can they take a very high dose of antibiotic or any strong medicine in blood by injection and SURVIVE? One of my ex military friend has flu and he went to the hospital, the doctor confirm its not H1V1 but they give him three heavy dose of antibiotic or something injection. He is a military man he can survive, can young children and old people take that injection and live?
