She did. They are telling her to take tylenol the cold kind and they keep telling her. She also has no money to see her doctor for two weeks. She was date raped. so don't give her **** for getting pregnant if she has no money. it wasn't her fault.

She has the local birth right number from her doc. She was worried about them being like planned parenthood, but I told her how good they are, they are wonderful. She is ( I hope) going to the doc right now. Her fever was 101-103 and I think I yelled at her enough. thanks all!

Take a cold shower. Fever is no good for the baby. Get her temp down.
Now tell her to call BirthRight at 800-550-4900. They are non-judgmental and non-denominational. They can get her a good doc who will understand that she can't take Tylenol or pay. Birthright's services are free.

she needs to call the dr. they might be able to give her a perscription that would be right for her and the baby. Check and see if she has a advice nurse line that she can call on too for help.
Tylenol is the only safe thing that i know pregnant women can take. Anything else has asprin or IBP in it and that will harm or even kill the baby.
You need to be firm about getting her to the dr. if she is in that much pain she needs to go for the sake of her health and her baby. I was once in that position where i had no money to go and i almost died with my twins.
If the fever is above 101 she needs to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM NOW!!! Worry about the bill later! When she is better throw a "bill" party with your friends where they pay 3 - 5 dollars to get into the party that will go to pay the hospital bill.
Cant enjoy life when you are dead!
TAKE HER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. BY LAW THEY CANNOT REFUSE TREATMENT TO ANYONE WHO IS IN NEED REGARDLESS AS TO IF THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR NOT. SHE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION!
Please go to the DR. even if they cant give her anything, they can monitor her and make sure her health and the babys health is maintained.
------
If her fever is 103, that is lethal for a non pregnant adult!!!! she is playing clue with the grim reaper! CALL 911, SEND THEM TO HER HOUSE! THEY WILL TAKE HER! Tell them she is pregnant and is going to do harm to herself and her baby if she is not seen by someone YESTERDAY!
Tell her if she wants to keep that baby, that she needs to quit cooking it with her high body temp! itsnot a turkey!

First, try to consult a physician or an agency you can trust. This needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Also drinking fluids with natural ingredients such as ginger or orange can help to fight infection.
I commend you for trying to help your friend. I wish you and her all the best.

The only thing you can take is regular strength Tylenol.

Sounds like you don't have a doctor you like.........please have someone help you find a doc that you can trust. Try going tro webmd.com. Maybe they can help you there. Or call people that have had children. I think possibly Coricidin.
