Light Headedness, Dizziness, High Fever, Sore Throat, Disorientation. Taken Ibuprofen. Cure For Symptoms?

I have been feeling off for a few days. Today, out of nowhere, I got extremely light headed and dizzy. I checked my temperature and it is 103.2. My throat is sore and I occasionally feel disoriented. I just took 400mg of ibuprofen to bring the fever down. It almost feels like my head is floating if that makes any sense. What else should I do?

Hello dear..
All these symptoms indicate that you might be having Pharyngitis.
Management includes:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
Meanwhile...avoid taking cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
