I'm not sure if i have a virus or something serious, can someone help me?


Question:
Last night, I developed a fever after coming home from a very cold football game (the temperature was around 30 degrees farenheit throughout the game, but i had to go because I'm in the band.) I even threw up twice. My fever broke about 7:30 this morning. About 4:30 this afternoon, though, my fever returned and I've had no appetite today. Could I just have picked something up last night, or could it be something worse?

Answers:
Give yourself some healing time..... you probably have a cold, chills, fever, vomiting - relax - drink some tea, bundle up and sweat off that fever - I always give myself at least 7-10 days (not of a straight fever) of body recuperating. Also taking 3000 mg of vitamin C and echinacea won't do you any harm. Not eating when you have a fever is common - in fact, I'll go a few days just drinking juice and taking vitamins.

I live in the snowy northeast US - and we live in unbelievable snow and cold - so common for people to have your symptoms. If your fever is consistent for 3 days or so, (which I don't think it will be), you might want to see if you have an infection.
Sounds like the flu and being cold just excelerated your onset of symptoms .....hope u feel better soon!
