I know at the hospital here they have payment plans even programs that will pay the bill for you, if you do go (which is sounds like you should) tell the nurses and doctors that you do not have ins. they will either give you some to take home or give you some thru a IV to be taken there... I hope you feel better..

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.

Latoya,\nYou seem very genuine, so I will be very straightforward.  You have to go to a doctor.  There are too many different things that it could be.  You could have asthma, anxiety, hear trouble, etc.  A doctor can figure this out pretty quick with a regular appointment.  If you don't have insurance, go to the health dept.  It is a big hassle, but if you are worried all the time, stress can make you feel this way-best, or you could have ashtma-worse case.  It is too hard for somone to tell you online, and why guess?

I would guess that you did a lot of coughing when you had the bronchitis originally and pulled some muscles from all that coughing. Now you are sore from it. Give it a few weeks to improve.

Hmm..that's really tough. I know what it's like not to have insurance and need to go to the doctor. It might only be scratched, but it might be a lot more serious than that. I would try first to call a nurse's hotline. There should be one in the yellow pages in your area. Talk to them about what happened and see what they say. If they tell you to go to the doctor, I'd do it. I think I would rather pay a $200 doctor bill than a $3000 hospital bill to sew up anything that that bone might have opened up inside of you on the way through your system.\n\nDefinitely call the nurse's hotline though. They help out a lot on any questions you might have.

Sounds like you have an infection. \nLumps of green weird stuff that you cough up (called "sputum", but the way) can usually come from quite a range of infections, but mainly they are due to bacteria or a virus.\nA cough that produces sputum, along with other signs of getting a cold, namely: headache, runny nose, sore throat etc etc are due to viruses. \nHowever, when you are infected by a virus, your body's defences are low and there may be another infection that occurs at the same time, for example, a bacteria infection. Which means, when you are sick, the things you feel and experience can be due to many different organisms (well, virus isn't quite an organism but we won't get into that). \nThat's why sometime when you get a cold, a doctor will give you antibiotics. These are drugs that will kill the bacteria in the infection. However, it will NOT affect the virus.\nYour body will take care of that.\n\nAfter all that jibberish, the take home message is: If you feel sick, got a sore throat and headache, get some rest and drink lots of water (if you go to the doctor he'll tell you to do that too but he'll charge you an arm and leg for it). \n\nBUT, if you feel S**T, and have a fever, bodyache (when you just feel crap all over your body...a bit hard to describe but you know it when you have it), and more miserable than your average cold, go see a doctor.\nGreen sputum on its own should not worry you if you haven't got the other symptoms. But if things change, consider how bad you feel (that is often the best judge of how well/unwell you are), and go see a doctor if you feel crap.

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

Yes, you may have pneumonia or bronchitis.  You should get a chest x-ray.  Blood in the spit(sputum) is not normal if its coming from the lungs and not from your mouth.

Yes you are sick...\nRemember young people see these questions and answers and you need to leave better questions on here and go see your doctor for the private ones...

If the fever persists you must go see a Dr.  A viral infection can cause a fever, but it will go away after a few days.  (Like the flu)  If it is bacterial (Like strep) you symptoms are going to get worse and you could get really sick.  Instead of paying for a simple dr's visit you might end up in the hospital.\nIf the fever persists or you develop any more symptoms please go to the Dr.  Check with your local county hospital.  They usually have sliding scale fees for people with no insurance.  Or go to a small urgent care clinic.  They can be less expensive than a private Physician.

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

Yes, see a physician. You may have an internal infection or something more serious like a disease.

go see a doctor - high fevers can be dangerous this is not exactly the place to get sound medical advice - but keep drinking liquids and keep cool - don't cover up more than you have too

Coughing blood is not a sympton of the cold or flu. See a doctor.

Try calling the non-emergency hospital line and talking to a nurse or doctor about your symptoms. I do this whenever Something feels wrong and i can usually avoid a doctor visit by doing so.

You seem to have a nasty infection although you fail to mention if you have or have had a fever.  However, this could be caused by all sorts of things from virus to bacteria.  It could be a simple streph throat or even a venereal disease, so I suggest you stop surfing the net for a couple of hours and get yourself checked out since what ever is causing this has not gone away by itself and it could get worse or even spread to your lungs.

you should go see a doc\nit could be pleurisy which is an inflammation of the pleural or lung lining get it checked out
