Still miserable

Today's 100 words:

It's been a week, and my ear still feels congested, in spite of the Amoxicillin the Urgent Care doctor prescribed. I've tried so many things--the antibiotic, Sudafed, tons of water, ibuprofen, cough drops, warm compresses, home remedies I found online--but none of them has provided relief for more than a moment. I feel like all I've done for the past week is whine like a child might, but I've never experienced anything like this before. I'm going to call my primary care physician tomorrow. Hopefully, she'll given me stronger medication or a referral to someone who can help.
