Hello, I'm A 36 Yr Old Female Who Is Being

Hello,
I'm a 36 yr old female who is being treated for acute mastoiditis. I went into the doctor's office on Tuesday and was told that I needed to come back in 4 days for a follow up appt. I was then given a ceftiaxone injection (1g) in the hip. The office is closed on Saturdays, which would've been day 4, so I made the appt for this coming Monday.

I'd been feeling a little better today, but I just woke up with more pain and a small headache. I haven't had any headaches really this far since the medication, and the pain feels like it's spreading a small amount. I don't have any drainage, but I am still swollen, red, and tender. The cartilage on my ear is actually really sore lately. Lol

Is this something I should try and move my appt up for? Or it it still ok to wait until Monday?

Thanks so much,
Jackye
