I have been really sick since thursday and iam terrified of doctors. the probelm is that i get really high fevers and they dont come down . is there any medication that i could take that would not only bring my tempurature down along with getting better? (i have the flu)
sunshine805 answered Monday February 21 2005, 7:55 pm: You could try this thing called Airborne. It works for me. But since you have a high fever, you should go see the doctor anyways, b/c you could just get worse and that sucks.
Hope I helped!

shake answered Monday February 21 2005, 5:00 pm: You're an idiot. Go see a doctor, if you have a fever and have the flu you should get that treated by someone who knows what they're doing. Dont ask the EMO kids on this site who use meds to kill themselves. Get over your fear. Get better. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]

MFS answered Monday February 21 2005, 2:56 pm: Well, first off, suck it up and see a doctor anyway.
Nextly, I am not a doctor. I am not a pharmacist. Therefore, the following is not a prescription, it is not official medical advice...
Alternate taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Take a regular adult dose of Tylenol (generally 2 tablets/caplets), then 4 hours later, take a regular adult dose of that (again, 2 tablets/caplets). 4 hours later, tylenol again, so on and so forth. By alternating, you are able to take the medicines seemingly more frequently, and use 2 different drugs to combat the high fever. Both Tylenol (Acetominophen / Paracetemol for you UKians) and Ibruprofen (aka Advil) both are antipyrretics (fever reducers). Both are also pain relievers (analgesics).

Wowitzbrit answered Monday February 21 2005, 2:25 pm: Everytime I used to get fevers when I was young my mom would put me in a cold bath with ice. It was horrible but it brought down my fever. And I used to drink really cold drinks. I hope you get better, I hate the flu.
