Help! Flu?!?High temp?!


Question: I am 14 I have a temp of 103.2. I can't sleep, so I am coming to you. Everyone else in my house is asleep. My nose is clogged and I feel a lot of pressure in my face, general tiredness, weakness, and headache. I get light headed hella easy, and i am nausious (sp?) but haven't thrown up. Any Ideas?

Tylenol is good for the headaches, if you want some heavy hitting fever reducers, I would recommend Motrin. As for therapy, you should wear as little clothing as possible and place ice packs on your pubic region and your underarms, this will help to bring your fever down a bit since your fever is mildly high. If your fever doesn't decrease in an hour or if your condition worsens, wake your parents up and have them take you to the ER, a fever of 104 or greater could lead to really bad things especially in Pediatric patients. As for the sinusitis, try using nasal saline irrigant, it's gentler or your nose than the mist stuff with all the crazy sounding additives.

normal symptoms....

hot tub bath, wear lots of clothing + thick blanket.. anything that makes you sweat.....after you sweat a lot you should feel a lot better the next day. p.s drink plenty of water/juice and take your medicines

Take some TYLENOL ASAP and wake up your Mom-tell her you have a HIGH fever! You can become very very sick from a high fever and you may need to be seen in ER!!!! You may have a sinus infection that can be easily cured!!! DONT DELAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
