you may have a fever. Fever is the body's normal and healthy reaction to infection and other illnesses, both minor and serious. It helps the body fight infection. Fever is a symptom, not a disease. In most cases, having a fever means you have a minor illness. When you have a fever, your other symptoms will help you determine how serious your illness is.

Temperatures in this topic are oral temperatures. Oral temperatures are usually taken in older children and adults
Normal body temperature
Most people have an average body temperature of about 98.6F°(37 C°), measured orally (a thermometer is placed under the tongue). Your temperature may be as low as 97.4 F°(36.3C° ) in the morning or as high as 99.6 F°(37.6 C°) in the late afternoon. Your temperature may go up when you exercise, wear too many clothes, take a hot bath, or are exposed to hot weather.
Fever temperatures
A fever is a high body temperature. A temperature of up to 102 F°(38.9 C° ) can be helpful because it helps the body fight infection. Most healthy children and adults can tolerate a fever as high as 103 F°(39.4 C° ) to 104 F°(40 C° ) for short periods of time without problems. Children tend to have higher fevers than adults.
The degree of fever may not indicate how serious the illness is. With a minor illness, such as a cold, you may have a temperature, while a very serious infection may cause little or no fever. It is important to look for and evaluate other symptoms along with the fever.

If you are not able to measure your temperature with a thermometer, it is important to look for other symptoms of illness. A fever without other symptoms that lasts 3 to 4 days, comes and goes, and gradually reduces over time is usually not a cause for concern. When you have a fever, you may feel tired, lack energy, and may not eat as much as usual. High fevers are not comfortable, but they rarely cause serious problems.

Oral temperature taken after smoking or drinking a hot fluid may give you a false high temperature reading. After drinking or eating cold foods or fluids, an oral temperature may be falsely low. For information on how to take an accurate temperature, see the topic Body Temperature.
If it last more five days you should see a health professional .
When you talk with your health professional about your temperature, be sure to say what method was used to take the temperature.

Sounds like you have a Fever. Are you having upper respiratory problems which are common this time of year? Could be a number of things. Take some Tylenol and drink plenty of fluids. If this does not help within 24-48, you need to go to the Doctor to find out whats causing the problem..

This may sound strange, but for some reason it works--take an old pillowcase or an old sock, fill it with rice, close the end with a rubber band and put it in the microwave for about 3-4 minutes. Place the pillowcase or sock on the area that is cold--you will warm up FAST!

Either take a hot shower, or sit in the bathroom while the shower is running as hot as possible so the room fills up with hot steam. This should also help clear the sinuses

You may have a fever. Take your temp. Take some meds that have fever reducer. In the morning if you are still the same, call the doctor.

You probably have a fever. Have you taken your temperature? Try Tylenol or Advil or a similar product that will help with fever.

Check your temperature, I don't know how old you are, but if your temperature of over 101 go to the emergency room.
