Went to the doctor.

valis2He said I have facial cellulitis, which he thinks might be from a tooth abcess, because I am experiencing a wee bit of tooth pain and swelling on one side.
I forgot entirely to tell him about my eye troubles, and I think it's the leftover eye infection making itself known.
He prescribed amoxicillin, 500mg, 3 times a day.
I thought nothing of it until a friend gasped and told me that it was overkill, that for his recent bout of pneumonia he took 200mg twice a day.
Anyone else think it's too much? Now I'm all paranoid.
ETA: Okay, sounds like the right prescription, no problem here.

I am *really* glad I went to the doctor today, and I'm so glad I didn't wait.
