So they were BOTH wrong? Seriously, its a complete waste of time calling NHS 24 - but Dave, why the fuck are you looking up symptoms on the website? I assume you're not a complete idiot, so if you're a bit peaky, take paracetamol +/- ibuprofen. If you're sicker than that, see your GP, and if you're REALLY fucked, go to A+E/call and ambulance. NHS 24 is for fuckwits with no common sense (and is run by them too!).
