High Fever Past Two Days

[harrisonkrs1]

Hello all,

I've had a high fever last night and today. Should I be concerned? some pain in my joints. I ate some gross curry yesterday so i'm thinking that is the genesis.

I will go to the doctor tomorrow if it keeps up. Or should i go now?

Go now and make sure you see a proper doctor so best to go one of the hospitals. Insist upon the strongest appropriate medicine like anti biotics or an injection etc.

You could have dengi fever if that's how it's spelled. Go get it checked at Pattaya Memorial and then if you have it go to Satahip Hospital where it will cost you sbout 5,000 baht for four nights not 140,000 baht at Bangkok Pattaya.

[glanville63]

Don't mess about. Go get it checked out ASAP.

Have you been bitten by a mosquito in the last week?

A mate of mine spent 7 days in BKK pattaya hospital with dengue fever last month, his nextdoor neighbour had it before him, 80k bill.

Get a blood test done.

How high fever is high fever? Over 40?

Only you will know how bad you feel, if you'r feeling pretty bad but not very bad, then you can wait for a day, if you've got 40 then go today.

Don't use a clinic but you surely don't have to use one of the most expensive hospitals either. A decent hospital is good enough. Serious doctors here (the ones working for the small clinics not always covered by that phrase) know how to treat what's common in Thailand. Don't play with penicillin yourself, you can make more damage than good

If you feel really bad then GO

if you have no diarrhoea, its not the curry

food poisoning will give you a high fever sure but it will be accompanied by projectile vomiting and the frequent toilet visits will leave your asshol_e looking like a Manchester United rosette

it could be swine flu

you can get tested for it at the hospitals, you will get results in a few hours

if its confirmed you will need bed rest, a day/night on a drip and you will need to get some Tamiflu inside you fast and it will all be over in few hours

don't wait too long, Tamiflu is not a cure, it just halts the reproductive cycle of the virus allowing your body the chance to fight the virus alone

some people die because they wait too long, if old or young they may have a weaker immune system and then the host is overwhelmed by the virus

good luck man........

Just got back from the hospital. I have a infection in my stomach which caused the high fever. Got some antibiotics and should be good in a week or so.

Good you had it properly diagnosed...

Might well be dengue;

I had high fever, aches and pains in eveyr bone in my body.

No headache.

Forget hospital stays as there is no treatment for Dengue. Only lots of water and rest.

[wasabi]

WOW one of the rare cases when the cursory bag of antibiotics was the actual solution.

[jubby]

I think I've got dengue. not been able to sleep for two days as my bones are aching and won't support my body in any comfort.

I've been taking paracetamol and it does give a bit of relief but I suspect I've taken enough.

Any thing out there I can get from a Chemist ? Don't relish another sleepless night
