Sending you all the positive vibes, just maintain, rinse your mouth with some luke warm salty water or an antiseptic mouthwash. Been there, so know the feels. (Ok I didnt have that kind of infection so I know that is worse)
Just take it slow and easy, luke warm waterbottle on the outside helps for the ouch, and I hope they gave you good meds.
An update, on Tuesday my glands started swelling up and I got hit with bad infection in the wound sites. Bloody pus pouring out of my nose and mouth all the time. Got some emergency care, super strong antibiotics (1Gram augmentin 2x a day) for 10 days and spent Wed/Thur flat on my back all day sleeping. Getting back on my feet now, working today at least.
Augmentin is a bastid. Remember what my manager regularly tells us; your employer is not going to build a monument if you fall in the line of duty. If you’re feeling off, or not strong enough, take a rest!
Hundred percent! Well said and couldn’t agree more. Sometimes we feel an obligation to be at work and functional whether by morals or due to priorities, but we get sick PTO for a reason, use it.
