Answer Dear Virginia,
I would say that the best thing for you to do is to call the doctor again and see what you should be doing.
It doesn't sound like an Emergency to me but at the same time I'd keep trying to get a visit with your doctor.
Keep trying to eat well, drink well, and get rest. If your doctor says all is well again and you disagree try see another doctor (like your primary doctor) and see what they say you should do to feel better.
