My fever is 38.2 and i feel extremely light headed, this is a sudden onset of the fever. when i cough i experience pain in my head and my neck is stiff?

Seek care: The stiff neck could be unrelated, however the combination of fever and stiff neck could be concerning for meningitis. You need to seek medical care.
