hey everybody,
I hate that the stuff always seems to happen over the weekend. I just went to the local urgent care center in my rapid strep came back negative. They're sending it out for a routine throat culture.

I am having a bit of a freak out. They're going to put me on augmentin. I saw a PA, and she said that I had someone millimeter ulcers in my throat and I have an ulcer on my tongue right in the middle.

I sent a message to my med once fellow, as I have her email.

I hope it's nothing serious.
