Answers:

Depends on how old you are but a high temp like that will not kill you. Take some nyquil or other over the counter meds to cope with the fever. Remember to drink lots of fluids, like water. Do not go to school, it could be contagious. If your hocking up bile then it is the flu. Your body is trying to cope with the acid/base balance in your body and you got hit with the flu. Acid comes out your mouth, base out the other end. Broth usually helps and so does sprite. If your temp reaches close to 101.5 then go to the doctor or find a ride. Just make sure you take something that is for a fever, and keep up on fluids.

experience, med school right now



Just stay at home unless it un-cope'able.
The reason you have a temperature is that you are obviously ill. Your body heats up in order to fight of the infections you have. If you try and cool your body down it will take longer for you to heal. The hottor you are the better for fighting off infection.

Experience and re-search



you have only slight fever . you convert farenheit to centigrade its only 38 degrees . you need a antipyretics like acetaminophen or paracetamol . more water ,fluid intake ,rest and avoidance of stress .



I've had a fever of 106 and when my parents called the doctors office all they said was as long as I knew who i was and my eyes weren't rolling into the back of my head then i should be fine...good luck!



drink loads of water, use an icepack for either your armpits or forehead, take tylenol just as instructed by the label, and rest, if things gets worse, better head to a doctor.



go see a doctor please and no of course you can't go to school
your very sick



Go to the doctor and get professional help. His advice will be better than random strangers on the internet.



Just stay at home and wait it out
Remember get plenty of sleep and drink lots of fluids



Take some paracetamol and stay in bed. If it gets worse, go see your doctor.



Stay home and drink water

Oh and a fever reducer would do you well
