HI

Would your regular doctor not give you a prescription just in case?

last year he gave me some steroids but not antibiotics and ended getting chest infection while i was away but i was in benidorm so i could get some. will try again this year but i was trying to get a back up plan just in case

Common sense tells me that if you fall ill in Greece, your best bet would be to see a local doctor rather than self-prescribing.

You could go and have a chat with your doctor. Mine is brilliant. I suffer with my ears. I had a nasty ear infection when i was i France once. The doctors there were rubbish. I was really poorly with a raging temperature. I just don't trust doctors abroad now.

My doctor is very understanding and has given me an emergency prescription to take to Tenerife once. Obviously i wouldn't ask him all the time. Flying always induces a ear infection.

I was ok and enjoyed my holiday because i didn't have to worry about finding a doctor.

Its worth going and i hope he is as good as my doctor!

Good luck X
