High temperature

Hello, wander if anyone can help me here...

On Tuesday had a high temperature: went to one lesson and spent the rest of the day trying to get to sleep at the nurses. Was quite awful, couldn't sleep properly that night:frown: . On Wednesday I took the day off because I still felt a little dizzy, but spent a lot of the morning in bed. It's Thursday now (lol) and my head still hurts and I still feel a bit dizzy. This is probably going to sound really stupid, but what the hey :p: , is this meant to happen? Is it more than a high temperature?

Anyway, Thank You!

Sounds like it could be the start of an ear infection possibly. Make sure you drink lots, rest as much as possible and keep warm. I know the temptation will be to try to cool yourself down, but the temperature shows your body is battling infection, and it's best to keep warm.

If you're still feeling dizzy, make sure you get up slowly, as sudden position changes can cause enough vertigo when you're not ill, let alone when you're already feeling a bit dizzy!

I'd visit your doctor just to get a proper diagnosis and to possibly get some antibiotics to help. I hope you feel better soon! :smile:

If you are worried about it make an appointment with your GP and you will most likely get some antibiotics to combat infection. Get well soon :smile:.
