Maybe a call to the doctor who prescribed the antibiotic? It might give you some relief from worry.

I also go to the worst diseases imaginable when I don’t feel well. Tumor on my spine, or in my head. Parkinson’s disease oh and cancer too!

Yeah I’m exactly the same if I get headache or stomach ache I think it’s instantly something life threatening but maybe it’s a tension headache that built up over time cause of how much stress I’m under with panic over my ear infection etc dunno health anxiety is so dreadful and feel bad for anyone experienceing it 😤😭
