Cold leading to ear ache

April 07, 2011

I sent this using the hospital-supplied messaging system to an alternate doctor because, according to the system, my primary doctor was not in the office at the time.

Interface says doctor is not in. Do not email.

Hi, I came down with a cold last Sunday night and now my head is clogging up and my left ear starting to throb a bit. I’ve been on Nyquil for the last four nights and so have been sleeping well. But I’ve also been working 12+ hour days for the last two or three weeks. Any advice? (Tomorrow is my last day on my current gig.) Thanks!

Just in case you don’t remember me: I’m Doctor #1’s patient who had pneumonia a few months ago.
