welcome to hcm, short answer : you are already over dehydrated. iv fluids is the best choice for you now.
detailed answer: with high fever you have to be investigated. and you will need iv antibiotics and intravenous fluids especially the ringer lactate. home remedies cannot be tried at this time. oral re-hydration solution can be tried till you reach the hospital. if you make it late your kidney will start going for a acute renal failure and you may end up in dialysis for recovering it. investigations like complete blood picture, widal, ultrasound abdomen may be needed to confirm your diagnosis
