Today, after making it through the past several days with no improvement whatsoever in my mouth (it got significantly worse, in fact), I decided to go in to the clinic again. I went in, got an appointment for later in the morning, and was allowed in much more quickly than on Tuesday. The nurse remembered me, and when she checked my mouth she went "oh, wow. You should get an appointment with one of the doctors today, you definitely need a prescription". So I got an appointment. The wait wasn't too long, and I was in fairly quickly. The doctor looked at it, called me "poor thing" multiple times, and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and steroid. Turns out it was an anaerobic bacteria (oh joy) that found my mouth very hospitable (evident by it's thriving state and rapid colonization). Now I'm on medications, though, and should be better by Monday! If not, well, I'm to go back in. But I'm thinking it should be better.
And now? I'm off to Dublin.
