In order to be properly treated, you will need to see a medical provider -- someone who can take a medical history and examine you. It is not possible for me to do this blindly over the Internet.

It is not a good idea to self-prescribe old antibiotics in these instances. I am sorry that you had to wait at the hospital or a medical provider's office, but this is really the only way you can be examined.
