"Tonsillitis at ED"

After coming down with a nasty case of tonsillitis, I first visited the ED a few days later as directed by my GP due to suspicions of quinsy. This was ruled out and I believe I received adequate care on that day, recieving IV fluids, pain killers and antibiotics and sent home with antibiotics that night.

The next day my condition deteriorated and I found myself unable to eat or drink, in immense pain and light headed, I came back to the ER with these concerns and despite expressing my inability to take in fluid or food, was given painkillers in tablet form (which had me in tears). I did receive some IV fluids but the doctor informed me that nothing had resulted from my swabs from the previous day, and I was sent home and instructed to cease taking my antibiotics.

This treatment felt very dismissive to me, and after 3 more days of struggling at home only being able to take in minimal food and drink I was admitted back to the ED where at last I received some ongoing treatment, to which I am grateful for the doctors and nurses who provided care to me, three days of IV fluids and antibiotics which resulted in me finally seeing an improvement in my condition.
