[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS: Totally agree with the travel clinic recommendation, unless you can't get in as a timely manner. That's your best bet for appropriate care in this circumstance.[/quote]

Op here. I called travel clinic's, urgent care and the health department. Everyone said to go to the ER. A doctor did show up a few minutes after I posted this. The doctor said they're admitting me to stay tonight. I hope I don't have anything serious. I have had a fever, chills, sweating and headaches for 6 days now. I hope it's only the flu but it's better to be safe. I am in a new city without a regular doctor. It hasn't been easy to figure care out. [/quote]

Something doesn't add up.

You called a travel clinic.  They told you to go to the ER.  So instead, you called an urgent care facility.  They told you to go to the ER.  So instead of going, you called the health department?  I'm sensing a pattern that you don't take instructions well.

You've had a fever for 6 days with chills, headache and sweating and you think it's life threatening because what?

You don't think a nurse can help diagnose what you have because why?

OP, you're obviously a youngster and you have a fever.  A regular ol fever.  I hate to break it to you but it's not life threatening and you will live to see another day.

Go eat some ice cream, calm down and you'll be better in a few days.
