If in severe pain and ... (none / 0)

... without a credit card balance to see a doctor, I'd be tempted. But with an infection that seems to be fading, I'd be worried about underdoing the dosage and just evolving a more antibiotic resistent collection.

Indeed, in extremity, I'd probably ask my wife to mail some human antibiotics to me, since in the Dem. Republic of Congo, a prescription is advice, not pre-requisite.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Re: If in severe pain and ... (none / 0)

You should do it anyway. Amoxicyllin, Teramycin and Cipro, latest formulations. Stuff last a long time in a cool, dark place. Or at least have her bring some back when she returns, preferably with a prescription.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
