HELP! I have a fever!?

I woke up with a sore throat yesterday. Then today after football practice I felt really woozy and out of it. I started getting really cold a couple hours ago and now i have a fever of 102.2! Help me! It hit me like a truck, I had no idea it was coming. How do i cure it...
Answer:
sounds like a typical virus. a virus has no cure and takes about 10-14 days to run it's course.if your sore throat is so severe that breathing or swallowing hurts tremendously (or if you have white patches on the back of your throat) then get into to see the dr within 24 hours b/c there is a good chance you have strep throat and the only cure for it is antibiotics. it's highly contagious as well.otherwise just do these following things to help treat your symptoms-drink,drink,drink!! make sure to get plenty of fluids. dehydration is a major concern when people are sick b/c they don't feel up to eating or drinking anything. water,gatorade,or sprite (or similar) work best.-take ibuprofen to lower your fever (if not allergic) and to also help with body aches. take 200-400mg every 6 hours as needed but no not exceed 1200mg in 24 hours. you can alternate tylenol with motrin if you want to (max dose for tylenol is 4000mg in 24 hours).-take nyquil (or similar nite time cold/flu medicine) to help you sleep at nite. if you take this-do NOT take ibuprofen or tylenol with it b/c the nyquil has tylenol already in it.-use a warm mist humidifier at nite to help keep the air moist and prevent your throat from drying out and becoming more sore. this will also help break up any chest congestion you might have.-if you do feel like eating, stick to bland foods. things like
soup or broth
crackers
toast
applesauce
jelloavoid dairy products b/c these will make your congestion worse and milk can curdle in your stomach w/a high fever.rest as much as possible b/c this is your body's best way to fighting the illness and getting you back to feeling better.report to the emergency room if-you start to feel dizzy or faint (or if you pass out)
-your fever climbs to 104.0 or higher
-you become confused or lethargic (are unable to move)
-you have no urine output for more than 12 hoursmake an appt with your dr otherwise if you don't start feeling better within the next 2 days. a fever lasting longer than 3 days should be evaluated. hope you feel better

Get off the computer and go to the emergency room. 102.2 s serious business!

---

Do not try to cure a fever. THat is your bodies natural way of trying to fight off what is wrong. Sounds like you have the flu or an upper respiratory so get rest and drink lots of fluids.

Go... see.. the . doctor now!

---

Take Tylenol or Advil to get the fever down and see the doc ASAP because you have an infection.

---

See a doctor if you have any time to write your question here. It is better way to escapre from fever. Take care.

---

You need to go to the doctor, you could have a number of different problems, and some are contagious. But until then, take some tylenol, or advil to help bring temp down, gargle with hot salt water to help relieve the sore throat, drink plenty of water, and try to rest.

---

Take one extra strength Tylenol and take a luke warm shower. Take your temperature again 45 minutes later. If it is still just as high, take a trip to an urgent care clininc in your area.
