Last night I was freezing cold till about 2 am then boiling hot and today I feel a bit better and I probably should of gone to hospital but I'm being a man and trying to beat it at home.
My reason for not going is all they will do is put me on iv antibiotics to which my thoughts are I'm taking 12 a day at the moment so not sure if it would achieve anything or maybe I'm just being stupid.
Well IV antibiotics just work so much quicker and can deal with an infection better, but if they’re already in your system through your tablets, then I’m not sure if IV gives a higher dose or not - possibly.
I think if your temperature starts to spike you’ll have to go in, but let’s hope it was just a Sunday one-off.
Good news the surgical sites seem to be healing though. Let’s hope that continues.
