Remedies for severe cold and very high fever

I feel awful, temperature of 102, aches and pains all over, I feel cold 1 minute and roasting the next . I’ve had about 2 hours sleep and full of lempsip , and paracetamol yet still feel shite .

any clues as to what I can do to make me feel better and reduce my horrid fever .

I’ve lost count how many paracetamol I’ve taken,ditto strepsils . Apparently I should take regular Luke warm baths . Yeah right I don’t have the energy to even walk to the loo hardly.

im thinking small bottle of brandy to knock myself out ?

Tbh 102 is not that high (I've managed 105) but bad enough to make you feel shite. Keep on going with the paracetemol but don't overdose and drink plenty of fluids.

 

More than 8 x 500mg of paracetamol in 24 hours is going to exceed the LD50 amount so don’t do it.  People forget that it’s so bloody dangerous just because they can buy it everywhere.

Gwen the body temperature is 98 so 102 is very high , like you I’ve been to 105 a few times in my teens and was hospitalised.

i just phoned 111 and they said I’f not improved by tomorrow go to GP and if temp increases to103/104 call ambulance 

Am watching the snooker which is infinitely better than staring at the walls.

Now I am worried.  Dangerously high temperatures can cause delirium and general talking of complete bollocks and it looks like you are right up there*.

*although you appear to have been exhibiting these symptoms for a while tbh. 

 

OP I've had the same thing. My temp was 103 on Sunday and has reduced now to 101. I'm on amoxicillin (prescription) and ibuprofen. Basically just relax and take everything slowly. 

Ebitda - would suggest sugary black tea, lots of food (beef and greens) as well as meds and supplements.  not berrocca that makes me instochunder.

local honey in your lemsip is worth a try.  with a splash of medicinal whisky.

To add to the embarrassment ,each time I crashed into the girl lodgers door as I passed out

I think she thought I was trying to break in.  Amazed I didn't break a limb

Tarquin are you obsessed with me or something?  I just noticed that you made some weird comment about me moving in as Stix new housem7.  Wtf dude stop projecting.

p.s. I know what she looks like from back in the day when I wasn’t mad and I’m not going to tell u so neerrrrrrr
