    I'm actually losing it bro

    I have a fever of 104 now that's been gradually getting worse, have barely slept for 3 days, and am having debilitating lethargy/joint pain

    She keeps giving me painkillers like Tylenol/Ibuprofen to lower the fever (which they're only doing mildly)

    But I just woke up at 5AM from extreme head & body pain and high fever and she brought ice cream from downstairs to "cool my body down" and isn't taking my complaints of literally not being able to move seriously

    And I overheard her and my dad mutter "Wtf can the emergency room/hospital do, he's just gonna sit in a waiting room"

    Why the f*** are Asian parents actually clueless

    I feel delirious and confused now and idk what to do

    UPDATE: We went to the Urgent Care but the woman there was like "rest and fluids!" & gave some tylenol and sent me on the way, even after I told her I was having extreme joint pain and felt like I was dying

    The PCR test and rapid flu test came back negative for flu, COVID, RSV

    I'm still f***ing sick idk what this s*** is

    I felt symptoms around 3 hours after going to a massage parlor

    UPDATE 2: Went to ER and they DX me with pneumonia after a chest x ray

    Fun stuff

    try to do this:

    • wet some socks in vinegar and then wear them overnight while you sleep

    and before y'all b**** about socks in vinegar I can assure you this works and it's a traditional remedy from Eastern Europe

    our feet are connected to all organs and vinegar is like holy water for the body

    (also the aim is to have you sweat the most you can, while drinking lots of teas and water)

    That was thoughtful

    Of course if it persists for longer take yourself to an urgent care. I know for a fact you’ll just sit in a hospital waiting room, maybe be given some fluids and the same medication you can take at home.

    If you’re taking both Tylenol and ibuprofen together and your fever is still 104 on them, you need to go to get evaluated.
