Laryngitis

*shrug* WebMD, PubMed, and plenty of other places agree that your doc is wrong. Pus is not at all required for a basic diagnosis of laryngitis. Pus indicates infection, which is one cause of laryngitis, along with many other things.

Yes you are correct, he did explain other symptoms to having laryngitis... Half the time people who go to clinics are looking for a prescription. My experience has been that doctors go towards the use of inhalers and/or no-prescription cures. 1/2 the time you make a return trip a week later sicker than you were.
Last year when I missed 2 weeks work for vertigo, the doctor told me that Gravol should do the trick-it didn't. I ended up in Emerg the following Saturday with a bag lunch, as 10 hour wait times are the norm. The er doctor said why didn't I come to them sooner...Duh.
Today I feel good. The Hydrasense is doing it's job. Lucky for me-I doubt I'll miss any work this week.

Yeah, so I DO have laryngitis. Saw a REAL doctor (not an intern)who diagnosed me right away. Ironically because I have an autoimmune disease (skin thing), 2 weeks ago I'd acquired a case of hives that the doc says is my body's way of telling me I've got an infection.
So I'm off for the next 2 days/without pay you ASSHOLE because I'm contagious now.
be Grateful I've got insurance for my meds, be grateful I didn't have to pay for a doctors note, be grateful I've got a beautiful weekend off (5 1/2 days). be grateful it was Fuckhead's day off at the clinic
