Headache, Fever, Blurry
I am a 22 year old female. I have had a throbbing headache all day and my vision as been less efficient than normal all day at school. I have tried alieve, tylenol, and advil. After taking my temperature 3 hours ago it was 105.3. I took two tylenol, for the first time in 4 hours. It's almost an hour and half later and my fever is still staying no higher than 103.6, but has gone no lower than 102.5. I have been unable to fall asleep, despite a cold rag on my forehead, because my head hurts so severely and I am so nauseated. Is this something I should be immediately worried about?
Hi there -
I am going to move your post to the Headache forum, but please get seen by a doctor promptly. Any time an adult has a fever that high is something to take seriously. It may just be a bad case of the flu, but you should be seen.
