I am running a 102.5 temp, all my upper extremities hurt really bad. I am seeing double of everything and the worst part of it all is that my moms wedding is in Las Vegas tomorrow and if I can't make it it's going to hurt really bad. I am drinking LOTS of water. Managing my temp, and been sleeping most of the time. I have been taking ibuprofen 600 mg every 4 hours and my fever goes down to about 98.6 Can someone please help me on this one. I been trying to self heal but it's so hard when I can hardly get out of bed.
Thank you astral pulse. so much
Hi,
Paracetamol is really good at lowering body temperature to normal. Don't overdose yourself though, thats really bad.
It that bad you'd make a one way trip to the astral. Lol.
Dude, at the very least you should be seeing a doctor... With a temp that high you should consider going to the hospital!

it's gone down to about 101.1 but I know what you mean Xanth. It's just gonna kill me if I miss this. They said if it gets to 104 then I need to go to the ER but then they said just to keep hydrated and that a Fever is the bodies defense mechanism of killing a virus. I don't know if it's the flu or virus. I feel really good right now... We leave for the plane at 4pm... I just don't know what to do. :/
Szaxx- Lol thanks for the headsup!

Oh, and I'm fairly certain it's VERY DANGEROUS to be flying while that sick... especially with a temperature.
And besides that, you're kind of being very selfish here... you go onto a plane sick like that, in a small enclosed space, you're going to get others sick. You don't know the health situation of others onboard, you could be giving them something their body can't fight off.
Anyway, if you still have a fever, I doubt they'll even let you onto the plane to begin with.
Xanth has a very important post above you should respect the words.
My suggestion was for minor food poisoning or similar. This causes an increase in temp and paracetamol usually works. If you have a virus that affects YOU like this it could KILL someone frail.
Think very carefully!
