Fix for a flu that just won\'t go away?
I thought I'd ask the best think tank on the Internet since everybody around me is clueless. My family doctor is away for a while and his replacement knows less than *I* do (and any 'debugging' I do at work is the virtual kind, not the human kind..).
I've been running a 38degC fever for 4 days now, it's cyclical - sometimes hot, sometimes closer to normal (37), and everything continues to ache despite various over the counter painkillers which are primarily paracetamol based. It feels like it is seriously never going to end /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif every time it feels like it's getting better for a few hours, it comes back after that. There are also times where I feel like I'm freezing to death.
Not to mention I think I've caught everything along with it - cough, cold, sore throat, and then some.
Should I get another professional to take a look at me or should I just try to ride out the storm with ever increasing amounts of painkillers? I could really use some help.
Thanks guys... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sick.gif
