I'm worried big time!!! I have a gum and throat infection and have a temperature and a bit of swelling round my throat which hurts! I got antibiotics off the doctor but they are ones that are renownd to cause nausea and v. I cant possibly take them, no way! I asked for other antibiotics but he said that Id either have to persevere with it or take the tablets? Eh, surely they have other medication to sort it out but NO! What can I do? If it gets worse then I'llv and if I take the tablets I'll v. Im scared stiff. I know I wont take them so Im wondering if anyone else has had an infectionsimilar and not took tablets for it and its gone on its own?Any reply would be appreciated.
