Rub vaporub on your chest. Take inuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) forfever control and drink lots of fluids. And dont forget the old relable chicken soup.

Fever and Illness: Unfortunately, in most cases a fever represents a significant infection. There is no simple way besides antibiotics to rid ones self of an infection. Having trained in utah I do know there are community health centers and their rates for treatment are done on a sliding scale. If you are feverish still on monday you need to be seen.
