There's nothing that can be done.....

So for the past few days I have felt the gland in the left side of my throat swell up and now it's about the size of a large grape. My mouth is a mess, and yes, I have been flossing, but my gums are bleeding a lot and the gums on the left side are swollen pretty bad. I finally broke down and called the labor and delivery unit (because that's who you call after hours) and I explain my situation, and sadly I got the response I didn't want to hear "You're doing everything you can, there is nothing we can do for you." DAMMIT!!!! I am not really cool with the idea that my mouth has turned into a septic nightmare and the grape in my throat hurts, you tell me to keep taking tylenol, sudafed, oh and I can take robitussin too? Don't forget to push the fluids! HOLY CRAP BATMAN! I'm in the age of modern medicine but because I'm pregnant no one will touch me with a 10 foot pole. I have my 24 week appointment on Tuesday with my OB, maybe she'll get more creative than push fluids....or maybe not, she did afterall, look at my stye and offer her deepest sympathy but said "there nothing that can be done." At this point I am thoroughly frustrated........Happy Easter.
