Guys, I'm a little worried right now. I've got a really high fever (103.2 degrees) and I don't know what to do. I've never been this sick before. Do I eat? Drink? Ice myself? Take something? Call the hospital? Anybody with any experience with this would be a big help. I can't get ahold of my parents.
(HELP) Need an answer from newsgroup ASAP (this is serious)

dude, get you ass to the doc ASAP. No BS. i ran a high temp for 3 days before i finally caved in and went. i was SERIOUSLY dehydrated. Get a shitload of Gatorade into yourself ASAP and get to the doc. you may not feel like drinking anything but DO IT ANYWAY!!!

Jeff, where the hell is your fiancee at a time like this? She should take you to the ER pronto so you can get some medication. If not, then I recommend trying to cool down your fever .Yes, icing yourself could work, though you can just have your girlfriend give you a sponge bath with cold water (don't worry, you'll be too weak to get turned on by this) to lower your fever. Also, get lots of rest and take lotsa citrusy things! Hope you feel better soon Jeff!

go to the hospital

you're asking me? :) well i'd say take plenty of fluids, so you don't try to get dehydrated, and get hold of a doctor ASAP. don't hang about, it's your lively hood we're talking about here! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "I love you guys... ah screw you guys!"

Call a doctor or the hospital ASAP. I'm not sure if it would be safe to try actually driving yourself anywhere, so tell the professionals exactly what's up, and take it from there. I can't advise anything on what to eat or drink, since I'm not sure exactly what you have (flu, etc.) But, I REALLY hope you'll be feeling better soon!!!
Well the flu is deffinatley gooing around (Do you have a cough) If so then just go see a docter he will purscribe medicine and just rest around a few days you'll be fine

PS: 103.2 is nothing One time I got the flu and I went over 105

Since its been a while since this post I'm hoping your okay now. If not call a cab and go to the hospital. Right away. I had the same thing a few years back and it turned out to be some version of the flu that can be deadly. Luckily I went to the hospital the day after I started experiancing symptoms and I was okay.
Oh my god! Although I'm late, I hope everything works out for Jeff...
