Your best option is to see a doctor, you can do better with a healthy and strong body.



do not do either. your body is already weak and under stress. thermal stress is often one of the things that makes people get sick to begin with. keep yourself warm. do not allow yourself to get chilled, but do not overheat yourself either. rest and sleep all you can. drink orange juice and have some chicken soup or broth, but don't force yourself to ingest anything if you don't feel like it.



you should generally keep yourself warm, evne if you dont feel like doing it cos your too hot, cos its not 'real' heat your body has had to heat itself up to fight what its fighting, and if you try to keep cool, you only hinder that

im sorry your sick ;-(
and that its affecting your school work, maybe you can ask for a bit longer because your sick?



usually the warmer i am the sicker i feel try sitting next to a fan or having a damp cloth on your forehead. keep a bowl by the sideof you just incase you get the urge to vomit. you can work through this.



Layer up and sweat it out! It may be uncomfortable but it will help you get better faster. Also stay hydrated and eat some oranges or suck on lemons

Here's to feeling better!



Write the papers and finish. Your immune system is weakened due to stress and once you are done you should be fine.
