Super BUG !!

It all started at the beginning of the week. Was not really feeling too well. By mid-week I was having a cold and runny nose. Don't think I had any fever but the body ached and had this cold feeling everywhere. My tonsil's were exploding. Went to see the doc who gave me the standard antibiotics and this time he commented that the tonsil were really swollen, no fever yet and he suspected it's some viral infection which was beginning to set in. Got a day's MC to rest but actually did some work at home that day, cleared emails etc. The following day I felt terrible, the tongue felt like it was swollen and I felt like throwing up. drop by the docs and he said the tonsil are big and may have touch the tongue giving it the impression of being swollen. He gave me a gargle to try to bring the swelling down and told me to really rest after he found out I did not really rest the other day. He said, his mistake was not giving me 2 days MC and my mistake was not resting ! And he goes on about why doctors require people to rest and get well as soon as possible and how they disobey the orders and go to work and start spreading the germs around. Finally he gave me another 2 days MC. Got home and practically slept the whole day that day. The following day a rash appeared, but soon it disappeared, I think the viral infections is finally going away. Getting better now and almost back to full fitness except that the tongue and mouth just feels awful after taking so much antibiotics.
