High Fever, Body Ache, Feeling Congested, Severe Headache. Tylenol Not Helping. Solution?

Hi, I've been sick for 3 days now. It hasn't gotten better, only worse. I started running fever last night of 103.9 and body aches so bad I was in tears. I'm congested and have a severe headache. I have a cough but it isn't too bad. I haven't been able to get my fever to go under •100 all day. I took 2 Tylenol and it went from 100.2 to 101 about an hour later. I have a 8 month old son and I do not want him to get it. Is there something I can do or take to kick this in the butt?

Hello

From the symptoms you are describing , feels like you are having tonsillitis or bronchitis.

There are chances that your baby will get it as it air borne disease, any how stay in a separate room than your child

Use saline gargles , steam and you need antibiotics like amoxil or erythrocin as you have fever from any source

Hope this helps , alone tylenol wont be that helpful , as it only lowers temperature without treating the source of fever

Hope this helps
