It sounds like the flu, but it could be something more serious like Meningitis or Strep. Usually the flu will start to subside after 72 hours with symptoms peeking on the second day. If there is no improvement by tomorrow you should definitely go to the doc before the weekend. Better safe than sorry. In the meantime take as much fluid as you can. If you're still vomiting try sucking on ice chips. (put ice in a bag and pound them into tiny pieces then eat them with a spoon) If you can tolerate it add a little clear juice or power drink to the ice chips. Don't drink anything to fast or eat. It's better to take it slow than start throwing up again. Wear loose fitting close and try to stay covered even if you think you feel hot. If you feel like your freezing throw your blanket in the dryer for a second then wrap up. Just don't over heat your self. Keep taking the Tylenol, although I've found Motrin to better for fever. If you don't feel better by morning go see doc . . .
flu? pneumonia??
sounds like flu. make sure you go to the doctor. pneunomia can kill..
you should definitely see a doctor
Its called the flu.
I'm no doctor but it sounds like the flu.
As far as the showers, well it sounds like you're taking a pretty hot one and with you being sick, its making you feel lightheaded, thus making you puke.
Sounds like influenza. (The flu).
They is really no medicine to "cure" it. Just stuff to make your symptoms subside.
Plenty of bedrest, fluids, (chicken soup is good)...
Hope you feel better soon.
Did you take a flu shot??
It seems you have major flu. I would have doctor to check you out to make sure its correct answer. It could be mono. other kind of virus,
If your body is 104. You need to take a warmer than cool bath. not too warm. At least 98 degree water.
It happen to my kids who got 103 or 104. take a bath to cool off . and call after hour doctor office.
Please see ur doctor. Don't take our answer because some of us can be big wrong answer.
Hope you feel better soon.
Also If you are still not well.and still 104. You can go to emergency room at hospital.
