Help. Consistnet 39 degrees and I don't think doctors are helping.

Question

Hi there.

  • I live in Bremen
  • I've been sick for almost 2 weeks now. First week my temp was around 37-38. Then, since last 26th it's been 38-39 consistently
  • my girlfriend and I went to the doctor in ER, we waited for almost 5 hours. He didn't do a single test and just gave me antibiotics and told me to drink 2 paracetamols 3 times a day (2-2-2)
  • since then my condition has not improved and since this morning my temp never dropped 38.7. Even after a nap, my temp was 39.1
  • I got sick right when the holiday season started so clinics are closed
  • will probably not reply to everyone immediately. I used up all my energy writing this

I talked with my girlfriend and also googled, and apparently you need a doctor's advise here to be confined. But the doctor who should've advised me didn't even do a single test. Just looked at me and magically immediately knew what's up.

Can I call emergency services and request myself to be confined so that proper tests will be done?

I pay my taxes and I can pay some more if needed. I've wasted enough of this holidays and my girlfriend's holidays stuck in my bed.

For context: I am from the Philippines, and if this happened to me I would've been confined already got my blood tested, xray performed, and othere tests done so that the proper care is performed immediately. This is such a culture shock having to negotiate that I want to get better.

Thanks.
