Thanks Mishap seeing GP tomorrow, hoping for anti-biotics to clear it up.
If he won't prescribe them I may literally blow my top. [sorry!]

Colleague comes back from lunch, sopping wet.
"It's literally raining cats and dogs out there", she says. The pedant in me wants to yell, "No, it's Not!!"
But this kind of thing is happening a lot, isn't it?
"I was literally over the moon!"
"I was literally killing myself laughing."
Oh it does annoy me.
