5. I had one starting in March this year and was afraid to go to the doctor and sit in the waiting room

so I took AZO (OTC drug) which knocked out the symptoms but not the infection. I finally went to a Minute Clinic and they put me on antibiotic but it wasn't strong enough and I wasn't better. I finally went to my family doctor (after checking their COVID protocol for non-covid patients) and they did the labs and UA. My doctor called me at home the next day and practically shouted at me to get to the hospital because I was SEPTIC! My daughter (an RN) drove me to the hospital and they let me in the ER entrance but she had to stay outside. The tested me for Corona virus as soon as I was on a gurney (negative) and I was admitted and in hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotic! With NO visitors allowed! I was on antibiotics from mid March until mid-September to knock it and I'll never delay seeking a doctor's advice again!
