According to here, consult a doctor if 101 or higher. Also they offer some suggestions for getting it down asap.

thanks kiddo - looking now

I would say you are fine. Usually in adults we say in our practice 104 is when to call a doc. Take fever reducing meds and drink a ton of water and keep cool. If you are experiencing other problems aside from the fever itself, then seek doc attention now.

 

However if this has been going on for a few days, then seek doc attention now.

[GettnHuge 1]

can I have your baseball cards?

[Electric Mayhem 35]

I'm over 12 (physically anyway, excluding my weenus) so I think I'm good for the night.

 

Cant cool down - got the shivers and freezing my arse off.

 

this suck-diddly-ucks Flanders.

 

If I'm not OK by Ozzfest someone is going to PAY! (well... me, I guess)

 

thanks naomi

I've been.,,, uh... pooing water all night. My 'evacuation point' feels like someone's been edjr-ing me with an emory board.

 

I hestitate to drink water now that I';m finally empty =(

[naomi 343]

Yw. Sounds like food poisoning if it came on all of a sudden.

Ah. Still think you'll be fine. By other stuff going on I meant like nausea, pain in the abdomen or elsewhere, bad headaches... that sort of thing. Keep drinking a ton of water. That's what really flushes your body of the crud and will ultimately break the fever.

If it gets to be 110 or higher, you should call a doctor.

With food poisoning he would have vomitted or felt very close to doing so--- along with diarrhea and possible abdominal cramps/discomfort. If he didn't feel nausea shortly afterwards, tis odd it would be food poisoning.

Try going to sleep. When you wake up, hopefully your temp will have went down.

[Electric Mayhem 35]

thanks CN. No nausea (thankfully). I'll suck it up and drink wawa I guess.

 

new mantra:

 

dab, don't wipe...

dab, dont wipe...

dab, don't wipe...

was asleep - then woke up with the bad fever so decided to check just in case. Going to try again I guess.

 

thanks all

 

g'night

Don't fret! A fever is your bodies natural defense mechanism. Your body's core needs to heat up, to kill the bacteria that caused the infection. Although uncomfortable, a fever is a good thing. Drink lots of clear fluids to stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest. I'll talk to you in the morning. Good night honey.

I was kidding actually...

ummm...my real advice....a dose of advil and tylenol---i'm sure you've already taken at least one.

So when we hear you have a fever, we'll tell you congratulations, it's a good thing!

Drink lots of water and take a fever reducer (Tylenol, etc.) If symptoms dont improve within two hours, call the ER for professional medical advice.

No! Don't call the ER! They'll tell you take advil, and drink lots of fluids. They hate it when people, other than infants, come to the ER. It's one of the biggest wastes, and abuses of the ER.

My bad, I didnt want the guy to ya know.........die.

 

I said call the ER because its the only place you can call to talk to a person in the medical field this time of night. Furthermore, if he has a high fever that is not respondng to a fever reducer, he might need some freakin help.

No, he can talk to me. That is all that he will need. Rest easy my friend.

Eat a box of popcicles...it will cool you down and create a colorful swirl when you flush.

[KayJay1971 238]

Damn I wish I had a fever right now....It was 114 today where I live. I would love to have the shivers right about now.

Man up. Put on a sweat suit, run 3-4 miles, eat some greasy food, you should be fine after that!
