well first of all, if ur freezing u have a fever unless u live in the arctic and leave ur windows open. Weak and dizzy are common signs of flu, common cold, and a few hundred other diseases. If you dont have a thermometer, try to guess by feeling ur feet, armpits, or head. If their super hot, you got a fever. If you feel thier like hot (it will be hard since ur sick) get a cold towel and put it on ur forehead. Let someone feel ur head for u. Get advil and eat it. If it is a light fever, dont worry about it too much. Just eat soup and light stuff and you'll get better.

You have a fever. Taking a hot bath can be dangerous as it could elevate your temperature even further. You need to take a fever reducer asap. Also, unless you absolutely need to, avoid taking hot bath or shower for the moment.
Don't swaddle yourself in layers of blankets even though it will make you feel a bit warmer. You risk elevating your temperature.
You need medicine and sleep, assuming you have a bad cold or probably the flu. However, you are encouraged to seek medical help right away. If you have someone you can call you should do so.
Otherwise, eat some chicken soup (if you can) and just try to rest.

If you go and see a doctor I'm sure that they will have a nurse who could take your temperature.
Your other options are:
-go and buy a thermometer
-see if a friend / neighbour has one and borrow that one
But if you go to the doctor, they can also check you out and find out what's wrong. That might save you from coming back here when you find out your temperature and posting another question :-)

I am only ten years old but I have an answer to your question.
If you have a car drive yourself to the emergency room because this can be something serious, or if you dont have a car and you have a phone (cell phone or house phone) call a friend to pick you up or call 911 and ask for paremedics.

You probably got a virus. I got one b4. If u have a fever ur head would be hot.

First you say your temp 100.3, now you say you don't have a thermometer. Get your story straight, kiddo. You already posted this question.
