I have had extreme head pain, ear pain, very painful throat with much difficulty swallowing and teeth pain. I did go to urgent care in my area and had an nose swab and was told I have the flu. The doctor there gave me a prescription for Zpack. I am now on my third day taking this also with codeine cough syrup and still feel the same pain. Fever has been 99.1 - 101.5. I expected feeling better by this time. Have been looking at pneumonia and other topics as alternative diagnosis. Thinking of going back to doctor. Would that be a good thing to do? Very frustrated! I am 66 years old
