Ear Infection

I can't believe myself get ill because of ear infection, my right ear started with mild pain since last Wednesday, and i thought this was no big deal and the pain will slowly go off, erm.....I was wrong, i wake up on Friday morning and found my right side of the face numbed, the pain get more serious than what i thought.
I requested the company in house doctor to write me a referral letter to visit an Ear Nose Throat specialist, and she did it for me. I went to a nearby hospital, did not opt for the most famous specialist in town, coz i really in pain and do not want to waste the whole morning waiting for my turn to see the doctor.
Dostor said i have serious infection and my ear is totally swollen, she can't even reach inside to see the drum....pretty bad ..huh..This infection may caused by my bad sinuses lately, my ears..got itchy...and me always dig my ear. ..bla..bla...She asked me to admit for 2 -3 days for antibiotic injection, and i refused. No, i do not want to spend my weekend in the hospital, what about my son? So after all the bargain, she agreed to give me oral antibiotic and i will have follow up visit on next Monday. If the problem do not get any better then i have no choice but to stay in the hospital...I pray very hard that i will get better and heal very soon :(
Today is the second day taking the medicine and ear drops, pain is getting a little better, i would say 30% improvement, but it's really discomfort with a ear plug inside my ear. (This ear plug was inserted so that the ear drops can reach the infected area better). I still on and off feel the pain like "bee sting"in my ear. I feel tired , a bit feverish and no appetite at all , this could be the side effect of the medicine.
How could this happened to me, Alex teased me..he said "Ya..u are a super mum, you can't not fall sick at all...or else no one will take care of your son!" I feel super duper sad......Hope everything will be fine when i wake up in the next morning.
