What am I sick with? Fever of 102?!


Question:

What am I sick with? Fever of 102?

I have had a fever of 102 for the past two days, a sore throat, headache, muscle and bone soreness, and weakness. I also have what I think are mosquito bites on my back and leg - but i'm afraid that they might be chicken pox? They aren't blistering and I'm almost sure they are just bug bites. If it's not chicken pox, then what is it?

I am 16, apparently I was vaccinated when I was 3 or 4. I've been told that chicken pox are supposed to be like blisters and scab over - but these aren't like that at all.


Answers:

Sounds like you may have a virus. However, if your fever does not go away in a day or so you need to see your doctor because it could be strep throat or a bacterial infection which means you will need antibiotics. Drink plenty of fuids so you don't get dehydrated. If you're fever has not broken by Monday morning make an appointment to see your doctor.
