Phone queue long but receptionist was genuinely helpful

Called at the standard morning time to request an appointment as I felt I had a condition requiring prompt antibiotic treatment. As expected, there was a considerable queue. I was informed that an in-person visit wasn't available, but I could attend to provide a sample for testing. This initial response seemed helpful. Following the test, I received notification about my condition but was advised that it didn't appear serious enough to warrant antibiotics at that stage, and was asked to get back in touch after a couple of days if symptoms worsened. From my perspective, starting antibiotics early is important for preventing the issue from developing further. However, two days on and I'm experiencing significant discomfort. I feel this situation could have been prevented, and it seems the approach here is to wait until symptoms become more severe before considering medication. I found this frustrating and feel the clinical decision-making process could benefit from review. That said, the reception staff member was genuinely helpful and showed real compassion throughout the process.
