500mg Amoxycillin, Three Times A Day

So I’ve had this head cold for the last MONTH.

It’s just not gone away - seeming just to shuttle between my nose, eyes / sinuses, and throat. Bearing in mind that we’ve just had Christmas, so my training’s been way down (unless you count eating & drinking), this hasn’t been much of a problem. But over the weekend, I started to get the familiar symptoms of a chest infection. Being a sickly & weedy child, I tend to be rather prone to these, and can now recognise the symptoms pretty early on - even though I’m not a doctor, and don’t even play one in a TV programme.

Anyway, I saw a real doctor today, and yes, my chest sounded to her via the stethoscope like I’m set up as some sort of primitive  bioweapons factory. I now have a nice batch of antibiotics to munch through over the next week, and official Doctor’s Orders to take it easy.

So much for getting a flying start into Base 1. :-(

    rest up. Hope you have a speedy recovery. I think sometimes it DOES make you stronger when you come back after an enforced break. Good luck

    On the positive side, at least it is now and not mid-season. Hope you’re up and back into it soon - and in my best school matron voice “now no more North Sea swims until Spring young man!”
