In the UK, nothing is ever bacterial lol

I had a horrible tooth infection that anyone with a nose could tell was a bacterial infection yet I was massively gaslit and denied antibiotics until I went to the hospital at 11pm after a week of horrendous pain

Doctors very rarely do any kind of test in my experience (I would have thought oozing stinking green stuff would have been easy to test...)

Later

I am somewhat against antibiotics as I have a fragile/already destroyed gut. But there are times when I don't know what other solution there is after exhausting home remedies, other medication and waiting it out
