I didn’t self diagnose. I had symptoms, I described these to a medical professional and they gave me antibiotics and instructions on changes to look out for and reminder to ring 111. I will now refrain from discussing my personal medical situation on a public forum. For many people, the ability to get antibiotics for a very small number of conditions is a wonderful thing when getting an appointment with a GP is almost impossible or you get one and they don’t even bother to see you.
