Answers:
One of the best things about aloe is, you can apply it as often as needed. There isn't a lot that can be done about a sunburn. You may want to try Tylenol instead of aspirin.
Hope you feel better soon.
sounds like you are suffering from heat exhaustion you should:
Lay the down and elevate the legs and feet slightly.
Loosen or remove the person's clothing.
Have the person drink cool water, not iced, or a sports drink containing electrolytes.
Cool the person by spraying or sponging him or her with cool water and fanning.
what kind of doctor was that?don't take aspirin,read on the bottle,it should tell you about reynauds disease in children and teens.
call that guy,there is a prescription ointment used for burn patients called Silvadene,get a prescription for that if you have insurance,otherwise very expensive.take advil for pain,cool baths with vinegar will help take the burn out,then do cool baths with baking soda.and moisturize constantly.don't burn ,causes cancer.
I agree with act_won's answer, but if you continue to be in a lot of pain, ask your parents to either drive you to another doctor, or go back to the same doctor and be more forceful about asking for help. Could a friend's parent take you if your parents can't? (If I were your mom, I'd tell my boss that I'm taking a few hours off to take you to the doctor!)
i have fair skin and have been in ur shoes a 100 times. tylenol will bring down ur body temp. fluids and plenty of them-popsicles,gatorade,jello,...

This should pass. But your doctor should have given you something/or suggested somethiing for your diarrhea and vomitting. Take advil instead of aspirin, the aspirin is bad for your stomach. Go to your pharmacist and ask if there is anything he can suggest over the counter that will help any of your symptoms.
I am not an expert but I had a serious sunburn as a teenager and my pharmacist said to use baking soda or vinegar to take the sting out of the burn and it worked great and helped with the sickness. You will peel (like you care at this point) he warned but basically your body is overheating and shutting down on you. Hydrocortizone creme would also help in between baths. Be sure to drink plenty of water or electrolytes like Pedialyte which can be found in the baby food aisle. Your condition is not to be taken lightly as you are showing signs of heat stroke. Call a pharmacist for recommendations if your parents are not willing to help or poison control because sun burn basically it is a form of "sun poisoning" and you will get better advice than you did from this so called doctor your parents took you to.
If your sunburn has escalated to the point of nausea, then you may need to call the local hospital and ask them what the symptoms of heat stroke are. It's always better to call before driving out there if you live a good distance away.
Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory which should assist with the associated swelling of your skin from the burn, but you'll also want to use aloe and/or an alcohol-free to keep your skin from drying out. on the worst areas and cold baths once or twice a day can help tremendously as well.
Watch the symptoms over the next day or so to see if you feel any better. Keep yourself hydrated and don't over-exert yourself too much during the day. If there's any blistering or other signs of severe burns you may need to actually be hospitalized.
You did everything you could do, what did you expect the doctor to do? your the one that got sunburn.
He's not a miracle man, in the first place there's not much he can do. He won't give you anything for pain, there is nothing, you did everything right, cool baths, of course they're going to wear off, then you do it again.
There's no sense driving around to these doctors, they can't help. Just advice, aloe,. lotion, cool baths, you have to let the pain wear off with time, three or four days.
Sounds like you just have a bit of sun stroke - it will lessen as the days go by and be gone by the 4th day. There is some cream you can buy over the counter that will help - Solacaine here in Canada. Drink plenty of water for your diarhoea - aspirin won't do anything!
It sounds like you are probably dehydrated and suffering from heat exhaustion. You should lie down and take it easy, and make sure to drink plenty of water, and Gatorade would be good. For the sunburn pain there isn't much you can do besides take some ibuprofen, and for dehydration and heat exhaustion there isn't much else you can do either that is why the doctor just sent you home. Make sure to keep yourself cool, stay out of the sun, and if it does not begin to get better within a few more days go back to the doctor. I know how awful it feels to be sunburned and suffering from heat exhaustion-I happen to get it a lot so I have to be really careful to drink lots of water all of the time.
