I didn’t think that at all nor will anyone else. I too am very, very worried for her. It may be that if infected that had only happened recently but it doesn’t take long at all to do you done real, life threatening harm. I know somebody that was at deaths door twice from this exact thing.
Oh I wasn’t pointing that at you lol. Just wanted to point it out so people didn’t think I was over reacting or being mean. I know people here are very loving and caring and truly concerned. I sure hope she went.
I know it’s scary to go. But think of the alternatives. This is no joke. Likely antibiotics needed. The sooner you go, the better it is. My dad died recently just over a month ago of essentially sepsis, due to an ignored kidney infection. He could be alive if he’d gone to get checked out. That sounds scary, and a different condition all together, but infections are NO JOKE. Use your fear as motivation to go. It doesn’t matter how long ago this all started. We care and want you better.
I got a really bad burn once from wax.
When the wax hit my arm, it scalded and of course I had to remove the wax…and therefore the skin went with it.
So then I just had this nasty open wound I thought I could treat on my own. Within 4 to 5 days, it was looking pretty bad despite all my best efforts and I was starting to feel sick.
I would get the chills and nausea.
So I go to the doctor and he tells me I was maybe a day from having septic shock which can be fatal.
Now here’s the part that should make you feel a bit better.
He gives me antibiotics and and ointment and there is a massive improvement in my health within a day. Dramatic improvement in the wound within 48hrs.
Do not be afraid to go to the doctor.
Whatever they give you is going to help!
