Apparently it was slightly green and red, although he seemed quite surprised I wasn't #ill as a result. Can probably thank my #keto #immunity for that. The #doctor also took a look at the other ear and found it was a little weird - something I've known for a long time.Currently in the process of trying to get a #doctors #appointment for my #ear - they are fully booked but will see what they can do. There's a high chance I have an #infection and need #antibiotics - unfortunately you can't get them over the counter. Every time the #painkillers wear off I'm screwed again, so ideally I can get an appointment today so I don't have to rely on them so much. I can see how people can get a #painkiller #addiction - it's a little like being drunk but you're still alert.

I suspect it is #infected as I found a bright yellow discharge from it this morning, which looking online is supposed to be the colour you would expect from an #infection ...I need to book an appointment to see the #doctor this morning to get a course of #antibiotics - who knew accidentally #sleeping on your #headphones could cause so much issue!
