Self-care

So for the last week or so I've had severe ear pain, with fever and some mild nausea. I basically ignored it because I didn't want to have to go to the doctor, I'm still on my parent's insurance but I hate it when my family has to shell out money for me. 
Well today Idk what happened but the pain was sooo bad, it is a throbbing sensation and it hurts to move my head or open my mouth. After work I went to an urgent care office and saw a doctor, who gave me some antibiotics and such. 
I told you all this because I feel guilty for going to the doctor. I'm being a baby and if I had ignored the pain it would have eventually fixed itself. I shouldn't have wasted the doctor's time. I don't even want to take the antibiotics because I feel like they are wasted on me. I paid the copay but my father picked up the medicine for me and payed for it even though I told him I would. I'm a waste of money. I keep trying to not mention the pain because I don't want my family to think I'm trying to get attention but like an idiot I keep grabbing at my ear and making pained noises. I think my sister is mad at me because I keep acting like a drama queen by drawing unnecessary attention to myself. I just need to suck it up and stay out of the way.
