You could go to an emergency room.  They'll bill you or you can go to your local health department.  They can give you free or discounted services. Or you could contact your Department of Social Services.

Take medicine and go to your doctor.

First of all, don't take aspirin if you have a fever!!!  Take acetometaphin.  (Tylenol).  Aspirin is dangerous if you have a fever!  \n\nIf you don't want to take medication then get sleep.  Sleep is a healer. Lots of liquids and sleep.  If you want to try something not so medicated...try Neo Citran.  Will help you sleep and help with the aches and pains of being sick. The Tylenol will help as well.  \n\nI am no doctor but I am a Mom and that is my advice for you! Good luck and hope you feel better!  ;-)

Take your medicine, of course, but anything that will provide nourishment.  If your throat is sore, consider instant mashed potatoes made with milk.  Soups, broths, cottage cheese, anything soft that you can comfortably eat.  Protein drinks and meal replacements are expensive but would do in a pinch.\n\nIt is also very important to stay hydrated.  If you can't stand plain water, try herbal teas (peppermint is soothing).\nMy favorite peppermint tea is made by Traditional Medicinals (www.traditionalmedicinals.com).  I can only get it at health food stores.

try chicken noodle soup and going to your doctor. the doctor would probably write you a prescription for antibiotics if it's bacterial. if the flu strain you have is viral (a virus) then you can take over the counter products to help with the symptoms. a virus has to run its course, as there are no cures for viruses.

You can.  Try a hospital.\nYou may live in a rural area, though, so you'd have to check to see where your nearest hospital is.\nIf you don't have a hosiptal, there may be an urgent care with extended hours.

If you are ill,go straight to the county hospital. If not , the county hospital is still a great source for information to get you health care services, ask for the social workers. The phone book, find Human Resources,Call the office closest to you.Tell them what your situation is,and ask them What programs are available? Also ask about local churches,community support programs(united way) Depending upon your age, You could be eligible for Medicare,or medicaid, Medicaid spin downs etc. Depending on your health concerns,You could be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. The best tool you have is asking questions,No matter who you speak with and even if their program can not help, ALWAYS ASK IF THEY KNOW OF ANY PROGRAMS,COUNTY,STATE,OR LOCAL SERVICES,who may be able to offer you assistance or information.Keep your spiral notebook and a good pencil at hand at all times. Good Hunting !

If it is happening right now, go to the emergency room, or to the nearest emergency clinic. If it isn't happening right now, go to your doctor tomorrow. Call in sick to work if you have to. That sounds like something serious.

It depends on what is ailing you. Most of the time, If you start moving around more and doing things, you'll feel better. Now, if it's a matter of morning sickness, it varies. If you feel sick because of this, you should have unsalted crackers beside your bed, on your nightstand, so that when you wake up in the morning, you'll have them before you get out of bed. Eat a couple and let them settle, before trying to attempt getting out of bed.

Take it easy today.. Drink a LOT of liquids.  I would suggest tea with honey.  Green tea is the best if you feel like you are getting sick.  if your sinuses are acting up sit in the shower so that the steam can losen it up (nasty I know but it works)  Stay warm, keep covered up and drink lots.  \n\nHope you feel better.

I dont have any real answers for you.  I live in Illinois and it is the same way.  You might try talking to the doctors and hospital.  Many of them have programs to help those of us with no insurance.  You might also look into state and federal programs for your particilar illness.  Best wishes to you.

Depending on what state you are in, there may be a high risk pool administered by your state.  Contact your state's Department of Human Services or other organization.  A high risk pool is great for people who are going to have very high medical bills, but you will have to pay premiums which are likely going to be much higher than if you were healthy.\nYou might also shop around for "short-term" medical insurance.  Insurers are more willing to write people who may be sick under those short term policies because the insurers knows a date certain that they will no longer be responsible.

the spread of illness is best limited by washing  your hands in soap and water. \n although you have most likely been raised to cover your nose and or mouth with your hand when you cough or sneeze and you don't have a tissue. the real best thing to do in that situation is to cover your mouth nose with your sleeve. that way the droplets are not on your hands and you don't pass them around .\n as well since they are not in contact with your body they live not as long no body heat. \n next people that are sick should stay home. \n don't be stupid and try to win some silly prize for perfect attendance when your really sick . the award those people should get is called the i don't care about others so i come to work school and make everyone sick haw haw. \n again the best thing to do is to wash hands with soap and water and wash for 1 minute at least.
