Please help me I am sick!!!?

Question

I get an uncomfortable feeling so I go to sleep a little early.Wake up the next morning, I notice a fever.I got less than 10 hours of sleep.Throughout the day, I feel fatigue, so I got some rest for an hour during the afternoon.I slept with my whole body under some thick blankets because I was cold (not shivering) and had goosebumps.When I woke up, my sister described me as an oven because she could feel my heat from an inch away without touching me.In the car, my forehead did not seem hot.But when we got to the restaurant my fever got higher while we were waiting for the food.That night, I slept early.But during my sleep, I had a nightmare that made me wake up almost crying.It was one of those nightmares that happened before but you can't really remember it or describe it. I slept for 13 hours that night.While up, I had a very mild headache that went away in a few min. I have also lost my appetite and cough(kinda dry) 10-20 times a day.Please diagnose this.Im 11.

Answer 1

First off how high is this fever. And you prolly need to see a doc if its so inconsistent.

Answer 2

Sounds like you caught a flu or possibly worse. Goto the hospital and see your regular doctor if possible for a throat culture if you are still feeling physically ill.

The nightmare is normal, in fact, I got one last night and this usually happens to me if I sleep alot longer than regularly.
Dreams and nightmares are a way of our subconscious expressing the feelings we have, anxiety, depression, happiness, anger, fear. It's all completely normal and can be expected in times of change or stress.

If you keep experiencing physical conditions but find out you are not ill, the symptoms may be psychosomatic. This is where your brain feels so strongly that you do have a sickness that in turn the body reacts to the thoughts and you experience a similar symptom of the actual illness. If this is the case, try meditation and stress-relief exercises. If persistant, see a psychotherapist. (Anxiety & dwelling mixed together do not bode well and only make things worse)

This is all I can think of that will help, and good luck!

P.S. See your doctor! You're probably just ill :D

Answer 3

You should really direct this concern to a professional doctor / family physician... I'll try to help out where I can.

Ok, it sounds as if you have a fever coming on (based on your post). Are your eyes sore? Sometimes eye fatigue can trigger headaches. You did mention that your cough is dry -- you may have a sore throat: check to see if your throat seems to feel as if it is swollen (i.e. since you stated that you lost your appetite, do you find the food difficult to swallow? Does it hurt when you swallow?).
Have you done any extraneous exercises this past week? If so, your muscles may have fatigued and this sometimes cause the feeling of fatigue in the overall body. Also, since you have been eating only little food (presumably, since you stated that you "lost your appetite"), this may also have contributed to your fatigue. Try and build up your health by eating foods rich in vitamins and nutrients such as fruits (i.e. apple, oranges, etc.) and carbohydrates (i.e. potatoes, rice, cereals, etc.).
You may also wish to drink a hot tea with honey and lemon for your dry thoat as well, (or a product called NeoCitran -- ask your doctor first though).
And most importantly, be sure to take a "pain and fever" medicine such as the regular Tylenol or Advil. And be sure to continue getting lots of rest.

Answer 4

sounds like some type of infection. How high is the fever. Your body is trying to fight a infection of some type. maybe strep or some other type of infection I would go to the doctor you may need antibiotics. any thing over 101.5 mostly indicates a infection. But not all infections are high fever. You need to see a doctor though. if it too late today then tomrrow.

Answer 5

It sounds like you have a good old-fashioned case of the flu, sweetie. Tell your mom to take you to your doctor, and he or she can give you something to make you feel better. Good luck! The folks who told you to get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids are right-on, but you're not dying, so just ignore the two people who told you that.

Answer 6

No amateur needs to diagnose you, my dear. you need to go to the nearest emergency medical facility or walk-in clinic and see an experienced professional who has access to a lab and other diagnostic equipment. There are times when professional help is the way to go. This is one of those times. If you are infectious, you are not only putting yourself at risk, but those you love who are around you, as well.

Answer 7

Sounds like you have little hints of cold in your body. Just drink lots of fluids (orange juice) and get lots of rest. The body fights off viruses better when it's in a layed down position.

Answer 8

sounds like a fever===the heat from the blankets made you hot===you might be worried about something or someone,and you are under a tremendous amount of stress
try to see a Dr if you can

Answer 9

You may have the flu or something more serious, I suggest that you make an appointment with your doctor or have your parents do it since you are 11.

Answer 10

I would go to a Doctor, you might have an infection, and you might be depressed too. Seek Medical Attention!!! I hope you feel better soon.
