Staph infection? Need diagnosis
About 1 week ago, started developing rash like pimply mark on right side of forehead followed by 3 swollen lymph nodes in neck, right side. Went to the nurse, she told me to change my earrings- didn't help. Next few days, started getting right sided migraines, extreme fatigue, eye pain(right side) and a general lack of appetite, also it was like my eyes moved slowly & I was sometimes disoriented. Went to doctor they told me "your body is working" and gave me ibuprofen. Now, I have a sty & slight sore throat.. I suspect a staph infection, but my condition seems to worsen at my sisters house, last time I was there developed A splotchy rash on the right side of my face by my cheek, and today it was like i had a burp in my throat & it was hard(ish) to breathe.. which makes it seem like an allergy.... Any ideas?
Sorry to say this but seems as though doctors will say anything to move on to next patient. Write down all your questions beforehand and make him hear you out. Then if he says something stupid regarding diagnosis you feel is wrong, tell him your thoughts and why you feel that way
