High fever: This high a fever requires professional medical attention. Don't keep trying to treat yourself; see a doctor or clinic ASAP. Most important, do not treatt yourself with any antibiotics that you may have around the house, or that a pharmacist might recommend. This could be dangerous. Good luck.
