HPI: In non-medical words, here's what has been plaguing me for the last week:
Day 0 - Hoarse Friday - scratchy throat; uh oh, something's coming on
Day 1 - Laryngitis Saturday - lost my voice, and it wasn't just from yelling at the football game
Day 2 - OD Conjunctivitis Sunday - gunk draining out of my right eye. Gross!
Day 3 - Pharyngitis Monday - couldn't even swallow my own spit because my throat hurt so bad
Day 4 - Cough & Rhinorrhea Tuesday - almost threw up I was coughing so hard, and I had Kleenex shoved up my nose because that was easier than constantly blowing it to contain the drainage
Day 5 - +f/c Wednesday - fever and chills and it's definitely not hot flashes
Day 6 - Unilateral maxillary dental pain & facial pressure Today - seriously?! now my sinuses, can't I catch a break. I couldn't even enjoy the first time Griffin slept through the night.
Dx: Viral URI complicated by Bacterial Sinusitis a.k.a. I feel like crap and have for too long
Txt: Abx & symptomatic txt Jason's picking up the boys from daycare so I can have my own nap time after orientation, and it's probably time for some antibiotics even though I'm usually the antibiotic nazi. My typical line is: "It's just a virus, Jason. Take some Tylenol and do a sinus wash."
F/U: PRN In other words, I hope this goes away soon so no one has to hear me whine anymore!
