Can you put a call in to dr - sounds like 6 days might be too long to wait if this continues.
Often they will hold spots open for urgent appts or they can squeeze you in.
Or go to an urgent care center if they can't see you.
Or even ER?
Especially if you are sure it's not a flu or something like that- I wouldn't want to go 6 days in that condition - especially during the Holidays.
It could be something simple and treatable or something that needs to be dx'd and treated.
