What can I do if I have had a fever for 5 days now?

Hello, I have had a fever for 4-5 days. I also have a pressure in my head when I am moving. I take tylenol every 4 hours but it doesn't change anything. I can't sleep since I come in at night all soaked with sweat.

Hello, ma'am,

If you have had a fever for 72 hours or more, you should see a doctor as soon as possible; is this the case for you?

Yes, more than 5 days now

Sincerely,
