A fever that lasts more than three days can indicate an infection. Take tylenol, advil or someother pain reliever to help with the icky feeling. Now is the time to see a doctor. Even if you don't want to.
Take good care. Hope you feel better soon.

A fever should only last within 3-5 days. longer than that, go and see a doctor.
when you have a fever, go and take some antipyretics, if the temperature already reaches 40 degrees centigrade or even 39.5, better see a doctor.
if the fever is on and off, go and see a doctor too, it might be dengue.

Paracetamol taken regularly should help bring down the temperature if there are no other specific symptoms. You must keep hydrated and if the fever lasts more than a few days you should see a Doctor to investigate the underlying cause. Hope you soon feel better.

Go to a doctor, as quickly as possible. Meanwhile you might take an aspirin or something similar, but I'd avoid it until a doctor instructs you, because any medication may aggravate whatever is causing the persistent fever.

what i do for my patients when they have a fever is give them a cool bed bath and apply a cool rag to their forehead and they take tylenols routinely. try taking the cool bath, that usually seems to work the best. hope you get to feeling better and if you dont, definantly go see your doctor because you may have an infection of some sort and sometimes a high temp can send you into a stroke.

Get hospitalized and treated...It may prove to be a magnificent experience! Make sure, you get into a hospital in tranquil, serene surroundings which radiate love and peace. Keep some good books and flowers for company. Listen to the bird songs...Wish you a pleasant and memorable stay, and a quick recovery, to the pink of health and fitness.

If you've taken tylenol and cold showers to try and break the fever, but it didn't work, GO TO A DOCTOR!
Oh, well then just wipe yourself down with a cool damp cloth to get the fever to break. And take some tylenol.
