I've had a fever for a few days.

 

My whole body aches.

Not hungry.

Always tired . 

Short of breath

 

Will this go away or do I need mediation, antibiotics or similar?

 

Over the years my body would take care of it naturally and I'd be fine in a couple of days

Too much missing information, go to a doc and get checked out.

Can you lift your arm up ?

I need to take your temperature 

 

[shackleton]

If you have a fever best see a doctor who will prescribe the proper medication

I haven't got the will or energy to go out to see a doctor.

 

At times I feel a little dizzy.

Safer to stay at home.

 

Would it hurt to take antibiotics, I've got some at my home.

[Celsius]

I thing you have a cold.

 

Or a flu.

 

Or a dengue fever.

 

Or covid.

 

Bronchitis is also a possibility.

 

Ebola, HIV, Lyme?

 

Malaria?

 

Maybe it's Syphilis.

OK, thanks

Get yourself to the nearest clinic or hospital to get diagnosed.

Waiting around to get better may have serious consequences.

Until you know what is wrong with you, taking anything turns you into a lab rat.

If it's a virus, antibiotics won't help. Taking paracetamol will mask the fever, and make a doctor's diagnosis more difficult.

Move.

[freeworld]

Possible symptoms of covid

 

Fever or chills

Cough

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Fatigue

Muscle or body aches

Headache

New loss of taste or smell

Sore throat

Congestion or runny nose

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhea

 

Perhaps test or more advisable to see a doctor.

Zika is quite popular at the moment

[Cricky]

I'm stuck at home alone, too dizzy to venture outside.

 

What are my options?

 

Tell what you would do

Doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary, not worth your whining and whingeing. You'll be alright in a few days.

 

Toughen up.

[Cricky]

Thank you to all of you that gave positive feedback.

 

I'm very sick at the moment, I find it really strange that members are commenting with spite, malicious and bitterness.

 

Seems so many people are miserable.

 

I'm not whining, just looking for answers on a medical forum.

I guess that's why there have been millions wasted on developing anti-viral medications.

Call a taxi. Or an ambulance.

Ambulance, bit extreme.

 

Still have to walk to and from the taxi.

To take any antibiotics on your own is the very worst idea. And did I interpret some posts correctly ? 42 degrees Celsious body temperature ? WIth that you could hardly even get to a hospital which you should immediately.

Paxlovid is commonly used for COVID in the first few days, reducing serious illness by about 88%.

I am currently taking Aciclovir as a prophylactic against infection, as I am on a regime of other meds which suppress my immune system.

Sorry, I don't have time to waste educating you further.

I cant be bothered to indulge an attention seeker that cant be arsed to help themselves. A waste of time pandering to hypochondriacs as well.

The OP is sick and alone, perhaps you could use an empathy transplant yourself.

I've tried to offer useful advice, which is more than I can say for you.

I tend to agree with him, some posters take a nasty pill first thing in the morning.
