Howdy, iam Cynthia Guynn, Enjoy your time-off from me!
Oh man, I’m burning up! My fever’s at 105 and I feel like I’m about to explode. It’s so hot in here, it’s like a sauna! I’ve been trying to cool down with cold compresses and fluids but nothing seems to be helping. This is no joke - if my fever doesn’t break soon, I’m gonna have to go see the doctor. Wish me luck!

Symptoms: Along with the elevated temperature, other symptoms may include chills, sweating, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of appetite and dehydration.
Causes: High fevers can be caused by infections such as the flu or pneumonia; however they can also be caused by other conditions such as heat exhaustion or certain medications like antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs.
Treatment: Treatment for a high fever depends on the underlying cause and may include rest, fluids to prevent dehydration and over-the-counter medications to reduce discomfort associated with the fever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen for adults and children over 6 months old respectively . In some cases prescription medication may be necessary to treat an infection causing the high fever .
Oh man, I’ve got a fever of 105! That’s way too high. I’m burning up! It’s like my temperature is off the charts. I’m gonna have to take some medicine and get to bed pronto. Hopefully it’ll break soon and I can get back to feeling normal again.
