I guess you could always go to the ER if it gets worse or you really think something is wrong.

pass out in a chair and wait til you get better. or take a super warm bath.

im almost positive there was a House episode about this...

For your throat pain, use compress moistened with your urine.
I'm not kidding, it's super-effective.

You clearly have to wait until it goes away. Not like you can do a happy dance and fix it.
Vaporub, sleep. Drink a bottle of cough syrup, throw up and pass out. You'll feel all messed up and another day of being sick will be over. Only your natural immune system can fix it.

Haha reminds me of when so many people thought konadora is a girl.
You'll be ok though, just sleep a lot, nothing is really bothersome when you're out.

That's not that bad. Wait until you hit 40 :/ Just get some rest and drink lots of water. Stuff you've been doing haha.

The best I can recommend is anything thats good fro your immune system. Sounds like your doing good so far, but in order of importance, this is what to do to keep your immune system as strong as you can:
-Eat no sugar. Sugar puts extra stress on your system thats not fighting the Virus. Many scientists say that the immune system reacts to refined sugar like it does an infection. Also, keep your teeth very clean and any cuts well kept. ANYTHING else your immune system has to do besides fight the virus is unnessicary stress, and will slow recovery.
-Keep warm. All the time. When you get out of the shower, out of bed... ALL THE TIME warm. Very important. But don't break a sweat. You never want to sweat, but pretty much be on the brink of it at all times. The reason your body runs a fever is to hamper the virus, which is probably calibrated to run at 98.6... when you're above that its bad for the bug, but acceptable for you. Just make sure you dont go above 103-104. Once you hit this its dangerous. So ya... monitor it as you have been.
-Eccinacia tea or suppliment. I've found this is the best and easiest to find. Never take it for more than 2 weeks straight, but I'd go with 2 doses a day in your condition. Also, Astragalus root. I cycle Eccinacia regulary, but I keep Astragalus on hand incase I get something nasty like Swine Flu or a real bad infection. Astragalus is the master of immune stimulants. Keep that as a reserve if you can find it. Use if you're sure this is like bad bad.
-Lots of sleep. You obviously already know this. Keep well rested but maintain a supply of fresh air. People tend to lock themselves in a room.
-Lots of water. Water will keep your mucus flowing, your head clearer. Also help you flush out the dead Virus and allow your body to function the best it can. If you havent been well hydrated and start this, youll feel better almost right away. I'd drink a glass an hour about while awake, make sure your urine runs slightly clear but not like PURE water. If youre too dark its dehydration.
- Keep your body with at least 200% of Vit C and Zinc each day while you are ill. Make sure your other vitamins and minerals are also at 100%. Dont take those BS supliments that have like 3000% of daily vitamins, this is bad for your kidneys, liver and other internal organs. I hate those things.
One time I went like 10 years without getting sick following these steps. LOL I was the best man at my Best Friends wedding last year, and spent about a week drinking, going to LA every night for a week, sleeping 3 hours a night, working in refridgerators as a Milk Man, eating junk food and got REALLY sick... right after the wedding. LOL
Anyways, I wouldn't have written all this for just anyone. <3 GL sir.

Take medicine and you will be fine. Sounds like problem with your throat and It caused the fever. (~39 is a slight fever) It might not be the normal sore throat, It has something to do with your oral cavity. You might have caught cold as well
Do you smoke btw?

Ahh, I feel for you kona. My gf is currently going through just about the same thing. She has terrible migraines all the time. Like everything causes her huge headaches, noises, sitting up or laying down, cold ect. Hope you feel better soon!

If that is true I just realized why I never really get that sick... My body tempurature is really low, like 97. It's to the point that even when I feel really warm my gf can touch me and still think I'm pretty cool XD.

Stop playing Terran 
seriously though, hope you get better quickly.

get a grocery bag / trash bag to spit out the phlegm so that you don't waste so many tissues
definitely get vitamin c
if you start feeling confused/dizzy go to the ER
EDIT: write a note to your parents/roommates so that if you die they can log in and tell us alternatively, pretend to be your mother and pretend that you died just to freak us all out

Do a barrel roll!
Get well soon kona

honey get better

When I was sick earlier this year my friend told me this lame phrase that if you take medicine your cold will go away in 7 days but if you don't it'll take a week. So yea I pretty much wanted to punch him despite being sick. Anyway.... I recommend drinking plenty of fluids, specifically orange juice, green tea, and water.
I know people say to take it easy, but when I'm moderately ill exercising actually makes me feel better. You seem to actually have a fever and stuff though so probably just take it easy I suppose.

@hoonie: no it's bird flu

@Ilikestarcraft:

@Jonoman92: Lol.. what a lame joke :p (but i lol'd, i guess anything is funny at this point @_@)
now i'm watching 하땅사... hilarious show.

I've had a sore throat for the past 24 hours, but nothing else yet. Hopefully it's not the flu... someone in my res already has the swine. :S
Then again, I could probably get out of my papers due next week. hmmmm....
|
It is a natural reaction to the amount of livestreaming you do for the community. Your sacrifice is one shining example of the pain and suffering the dedicated few have to endure so the rest of us can have easily accessible live StarCraft.
Really though it looks like most the stuff I'd recommend has already been covered. I hope you get well soon!

Theres a term for this in Chinese, its not a cold or flu but your just eating to much "hot/fried/oily foods.
Literal translation in Cantonese = Hot Air.

Ya sweating is not really good. More water is all I can say, just stay covered in cotton, it breathes. Sometimes anything polyester makes you sweat. Just ask Horang2.
Ugh when you talk about the sore throat like sand paper... man I remember how that feels. Icky.

Don't watch fantasy games thats for sure, his terrible play will cause your spritis to break and your illness will run rampant Get well soon kona!!
|
Sweat it out. Sweating is good. why do you think they tell you to keep warm.
|
Lemon and honey always soothes my sore throats. Like a teaspoon of each - mix, eat real slow.

Hahah Kona I know you're a guy, I was kidding, silly.
Feel better - I agree with everyone. Sweating is good. You want to cool down that fever even though you might feel cold in the process. Take luke warm showers to cool yourself down from time to time and cool towels for your head, under your neck, back of your neck and arm pits.
Wear breathable clothes - cotton is good.

okay now i'm eating baked potatos, they seem to be helping with lessening my throat's pain
|
Take some aspirin, drink some warm tea, + Show Spoiler + and play some ICCUP. The flu sucks.
|
Baked potatoes are good. I always drink warm milk and honey if my throat is bothering me.
|
Please don´t die you´re only going at 17500 posts 
And yeah you should try those mints that work like local anesthetics on the throat, can´t remember what they are called.
|
What kinds of medicines have you been taking? Is the fever getting better with aspirin or panadol/tylenol (I think paracetamol in many asian countries is called either panadol or tylenol)? Tried to take both? If you look in your throat do you see any white-ish dots on your tonsils? Any muscle-pain, stiffness in the neck?
|
to beat the fever you need to drink water.. not orange juice or whatever. take a nap every 3 hours where you wrap yourself up in blankets and sweat ALOT. this is how you do it. avoid cold beverages and cold draughts. to beat the fever you need to sweat, sleep, and consume fluids.

im just recovering from the flu. today is day 6 or something.
drink lots of water drink lots of orange juice (or something with vitamin c) get lots of sleep
|
ooooh you shouldn't have gone to see a doctor. Sound's very much like Swine Flu actually, there was just a pretty big outbreak in the UK. I got it, very nasty and similar symptoms.
|
I've been feeling absolutely terrible the past couple days too but today I woke up and feel good again Drink a lot of water and sleep as much as possible, pretty much what I did.
|
go to the hospital! + Show Spoiler +ive just been hospitalized the other week and it was soo fucking boring to wait until your ok!
|
Actually Kona, a good sweat is all it takes to really cure a person.
