Sleep

Drink tons of water, seriously, just drink one glass every 5 minutes, you'll piss so much half the stuff will be out

You should dump your girlfriend. Your roommate agrees.

ACTUALLY drinking alot of water will induce the vomiting. Once his stomach feels up with all the water its going to come back up with whatever was going to come up in the future.. most likly.

I once had something very similar to Mono. My fever was up to 104.6 at its peak. I think I should have gone to the hospital...


<---useless response, I know

 

[DrNoobie]

As long as your temperature stays under 102.5 just drink plenty of fluids, rest, and stay away from people. If your fever rises above 102.5, go to a hospital immediately. Also, if you can't keep fluids down, you may have intestinal flu which also requires a doctors visit.

get back into bed and sleep

How the hell do you know it is the flu?

 

[The Stigenator]

well for my body its usually okay if it goes to 104 .... it regularly goes up there if i dont do anything.. so i take the medication every 4 hrs rather than 6.. Last year I went to a wedding on the other coast with a 104 fever.. i flew cross country and was popping tablets every few hrs.. i had a monster headache from it, but my fever finally did come down (for a while my fever never came down).

I know myself.. I drink a lot of water, but i will ask tyler to go get some gatorade and stuff for me later on (when he gets back)....

I will go to the hospital tommorow if I start to think its a stomach flu. So far I am just going to take water, theraflu, food and cold compress.

I just wish my mom was here, im such a baby when i catch the flu.

Headache was probably brain damage from your 104 fever, but it is nice to know that you finally have an excuse. In all seriousness I hope you feel better. It is a pain to be sick and have schoolwork/tests.

Email your professor and say "I'm throwing up. I don't think I can make the mid-term. Can I take it at a different time?" Normally they'll be happy to do so.

If you live on campus, go to the healrh center, see a doctor, and get a note saying you have the flu. Because if you really have the flu all you are going to be doing for the next 3 or 4 days is laying in bed and sleeping.

 

[Howard]

Gotta get some ions in you. Eat bananas and salty stuff.

 

[boyRacer]

maybe you try and just make up the midterm?

 

[Anghang]

i too am sick, since monday i've had a 101F fever...lot better today but not 100% yet...
all this week i been taking Alleve, drinking lotta water, lotta OJ, bananas, soup, basically eating healthy...
been sleeping early too, making sure to get a full night's rest, at least 6-8 hrs of comfortable sleep...

 

[Azraele]

Feel better soon.

 

[yukichigai]

Sweet, 102 temp. That means hallucinations are just around the corner. Fun fun fun.

Drink plenty of fluids. If you have a craving for some kind of food, no matter how crazy, go for it. (if it isn't actually food don't though) Cravings tend to be for foods with vitamins/minerals/protein/whatevers that you need to get better.

P.S. Oh yeah you could try to take a cold bath, as unappealing as that sounds. Should help with the fever.

 

[The Stigenator]

i do not hallucinate until like 105+

i checked it a while back it was 103.... i am feeling really fscking cold. and i got a sore throat / tonsilitis (swelling on my tonsil)

 

[guyver01]

you're dying. there's nothing you can do to fight it, just accept the inevitable.

 

[The Stigenator]

well the lab tests came out saying strep throat..

they are going to put me on penicillin

I feel so cold.. my fever has gone up again.. it was 101.7 when i checked it there, it was 102 here when i left.. however now its back to 102.7 and rising.. so im forcing to eat something and take my tylenol.


by the way how did I get strep throat.. ? i havent been kissing anyone..

 

[Bryophyte]

Streptococcus is everywhere, especially this time of year. You're probably thinking of Mono (erroneously called the kissing disease..)

 

[divinemartyr]

Strep throat is a bacterial infection, and can be transmitted through the air. It is a very serious bacteria and can potentially kill you if you do not seek proper treatment. You don't have to kiss anyone to get it.

As far as what you should do, make sure you drink lots of fluids, get plenty of rest, and gargle salt water or eat salty things!

You can combine both Advil and Tylenol to help bring your fever down. Acetominophine and ibuprofen can be taken concurrently. Take advil every 6 hours and tylenol every 4 hours.
