Ibuprofen

I hate it how I've now been near death with swollen glands so augmented I can't even move my neck, and both of the two times the doctor has prescribed ibuprofen. 

He prescribed an antibiotic the first time, and then yesterday (when he made his house call, because that's what they do here), he didn't see any plaque on my throat yet and just prescribed me ibuprofen. 

I refused the prescription because I had already brought a bottle over from the states. 

And now today, I'm as sick as a dog with assured plaque on my throat. I'll even give you a vivid description - green snot and difficulty swallowing. 

I can't figure out why I've only been sick twice in the past three years, and now I've been sick twice in just the three weeks I've been here. 

I've only kissed like what, 500 people on the cheek to greet and say goodbye. 

But no hugs. I need some hug therapy. Where are my Indiana people? 

I also need that antibiotic. Sorry to be a bother, but can the doctor come over again because I wasn't lying when I said that I am going to be very sick if I'm not proactive in getting this antibiotic. 

I don't need a doctor to tell me to take a ibuprofen...
