If it's an bacterial infection - you may need to take 2 different antibiotics at the same time. If you're vomiting - maybe take an anti-emetic. But it sounds like you need to get to a hospital and they can tell you if you have an infection by doing a blood test. Make sure your course of antibiotics is long enough too. Check the strength of the antibiotics - if they are 250Mg - maybe you need 500mg. Don't drink alcohol with the antibiotics. If you have to pay for medical treatment and don't have full insurance cover go to a charity funded hospital for help. You haven't given enough info for a better answer - but go to a better doctor!

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

Are you working out too hard? Do you feel run down in general? Have you had a cold/infection recently? Could be any one of those things, I'd rest for a couple of days and take cod liver oil supplements to help keep your joints flexible

Sorry you don't feel good.  Have you tried a gravol suppository to stop the vomiting thought I'd suggest it since you can't keep anything down.  Surprised no one else suggested it.  As others said drink lots of whatever stays down longest.\n\nHope you feel better soon

I understand what you're going through as the same thing happened to me. I think it may be depression from the shock of what happened to you.\n\nI passed out on a night out with friends and since then I've been tired, unmotivated and just constantly dizzy and lethargic.\n\nI've been to them all Neurologist, etc. They found nothing and made me feel as though I was imagining what was happening to me. They told me I would snap out of it. Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nHowever, I've been doing my own research on line and I found out about 'ST. John's Wort' a meal supplement and herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression, which has really got me mentally and physically motivated again.\n\nCheck it out on line yourself.

I don't have all the answers, but if it helps I totally and completely understand. I'm 23 and up until 3-4 months ago from the time I was thirteen doctors and therapists had me try all these different types of meds. Sure, after the initial 6-7  weeks of side effects there was some effect? Mostly mental exhaustion, numbness, melancholy, lack of focus and fatigue for me. Maybe I wasn't sad, but I wasn't happy just numb. But there is life worth living. I'm not cured but I can't stress enough how beneficial it was for me to find out about how most depressed people are lacking b complex vitamins,fish oils , omega 3,6,9 and vitamin D3 and coral calcium. Sounds like a lot but it feels good taking them and my mind is clearer (when I do). I could go on but there's also a naturopathic and almost fda approved supplement called SAMe, there's been amazing results from this. I hope I'm being helpful.  I just stopped taking my antideppressants once I had the perfect balance of vitamins and minerals my body was so obviously lacking. This was three months ago. \nTalk to a naturopath or homeopath and they can help sort out what your body is defficient of. Truly a breath of fresh air when you do this, plus it feels good. It's not like taking some quick fix pill that supports pharmaceutical companies and gives doctors nice kickbacks for reccomending them. Because of depression and pills I had so much trouble concentrating throughout school (not to mention I was dealing with bulemia also), but what I didn't understant was that my "developed" ADD is a common side effect from taking these pills. Nice. I have so much more info I can share email me any time. I still have depression it's just a lot more manageable. Oh yeah, a blessing in disguise without a doubt is acupunture. Find the right accupuncturist and you'll see what I mean. I didn't believe in it at first, but get a referral from someone you trust and give it a shot. PS the pins not needles feel like nothing no ouch factor. You're not alone I know and live your pain.

Hi - I felt like this when I had gastric flu, ended up so dehydrated I had to go to hospital, think you need to see a doc. If there are no docs open, try a Pharmacy or even A&E. Hope you feel better soon xx

Your body has been assaulted by some sort of a bug and needs time to heal.  I would not worry too much about lack of appetite, it should come back.  In the meantime, continue to drink plenty of fluids and when you do eat, make sure it is not empty calories, in other words, junk food.  If you don't feel better after the weekend, I would go see the doctor, you might have a secondary infection that needs to be dealt with.

I have the EXACT same thing!!!  I'm not 100% positive, but from my experience, what you have is probably only a viral infection, which means antibiotics will not do anything for it!!  It has to take it's course, so load up on the Orange Juice and get plenty of sleep!!!!  Hope you get to feeling better!!!

the best home remedy for fevers is tylenol. i just had that flu just so you know right as you start to feel like its over, its going to mutate into a stomach bug. but the best remedy for what your feeling right now go to the drugstore, buy robitussin (not the store brand) and tylenol (not the store brand) take the maximum dose of the tussin which is about 3.5 tablespoons with two 650 mg tylenol pills. that will take care of your fever and aching and probably knock your a ss out.

Watch for early signs of dehydration and drink extra fluids, especially water. Adults should drink at least 10 glasses of liquid a day to replenish lost fluids. Children between the ages of 4 and 10 should drink at least 6 to 10 glasses. You may feel better if you eat light, easily digested foods, such as soup. Many people find that taking a lukewarm [80° (26.7°) to 90° (32.2°)] shower or bath makes them feel better when they have a fever. Do not try to take a shower if you are dizzy or unsteady on your feet. Increase the water temperature if you start to shiver. Shivering is a sign that your body is trying to raise its temperature. Do not use rubbing alcohol, ice, or cold water to cool your body. Dress lightly when you have a fever. This will help your body cool down. Wear light pajamas or a light undershirt. Do not wear very warm clothing or use heavy bed covers. Keep room temperature at 70° (21.1°) or lower. Take a nonprescription medication to help relieve your fever- Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol or Panadol, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Ibuprofen, such as Advil or Motrin \nNaproxen, such as Aleve or Naprosyn,Ketoprofen, such as Actron or Orudis,Aspirin (also a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) Be sure to check your temperature every 2 to 4 hours to make sure home treatment is working. If fever does not subside or your temp increases, see a doctor.

sweet echinacea, vitamin C pills, any homeopathic sore throat sprays, NyQuil, and force him to drink water no matter how bad it hurts. I got over my mono this week. I only missed 4 days of work. I got it Sunday 19th and and now I just have a minor sore throat. I also cannot stop yawning, don't know if that has anything to do though. Also make sure he tries to get better. Letting him rest doesn't mean let him sleep all day. Let him get up, watch a movie, walk around the house, do stuff he would normally do with free time. I think that helped me.

Hey Sam, I have had crohn's for 15 + yrs. I know how you feel. Those who have never had this disease will not. I have tried probiotics, aloe vera juice, fish oil, jordan rubins program, you name it its been through my system (not always pleasantly). I am currently on Remicade and have been for over a year. It has put me into remission. I also believe it is an auto immune disease whether caused by man or environment I'm not sure. I have had many days where I feel like crap & often have deep thoughts of this disease. I do know hereditary is a factor as I can prove by most of my relation having ms, ra, lupus & crohn's. Do you have a good dr? If not find one even one who specializes in homeopathy can help. I wish you luck in finding a miracle we all are looking for!
