Question : I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and given day course of antibiotics. I've now taken the meds for 5 days. Rather than getting better I am getting worse. Increased nausea, especially after eating, and shortness of breath.i am on vacation until the weekend. Can I wait until I get home to see doctor or should I go to emergency room?
