Try taking a couple aspirin or tylenol, keep wrapped up warmly, and see if you can contact someone by phone.



Take some aspirin right now; you've got to get your temperature down. Get up and find some aspirin.
For your stuffy nose, you need a decongestant. Look for some kind of antihistamine. If you find s something you think is an antihistamine but you are not sure, google it to be sure. Sometimes an antihistamine has aspirin in it, you won't need a double dose so be careful.



Drink a lot of water. You should go to an Urgent care or Emergency room, cause that is way too high...

As long as you aren't dizzy, and can walk around a bit, get in a cool shower, not cold, but cooler than usual. That will make the fever go down a bit.

You can also take a cool bath, (which might be better) but don't fill the tub up very high, keep it below your waist.... If you don't want to take a bath, then get your hair/scalp wet. This will also help take your temp down.

Call someone to take you in as soon as you can.



your mother should have never left you. You must-must cool yourself down before you pass out. A temp that high is life threatening. Get some ice cubes and put them in a towel or washcloth. Apply it to your body. At least use a cool rag to dampen your arms, legs, and face.
You call your mother and tell her you need help and if she gets mad, call 911 and tell them you are home alone with a temp of 104.5 and you can't breath. Save yourself if your mother will not.
My little sister had a temp of 106 and nearly died. She was unconscious for 3 days. She had natural curley hair and the fever straightened her hair.



104.5? It is high but not dangerously yet. Take a few ibuprofen as they can help reduce fever. Keep an eye on your temperature and drink some tea, eat cough drops, cool off your room, etc. Make yourself as comfortable as possible and if your fever passes 105 or lasts longer than a night go to the hospital immediately. Brain damage occurs at 107.6 so keep your eye on it!!

Edit: It doesn't matter if she'll be mad at you! If it gets any higher you MUST call her or an ambulance! Its a health situation not bothering her.



Call your mother. Take medications and drink plenty of water.

You're quite young, 104 degrees is when it starts getting a bit too high and needs medical attention. If it keeps going up call your mom no matter what.



Take some Tylenol and sponge off your face and arms with a cool wash cloth. Don't get chilled. Wrap up. Call your mother or a responsible adult immediately. You need attention with a temp that high.



call your mom to come home and if she doesnt answer call an ambulance.



CALL SOMEONE!!!!!



Call ur mom. Or the hospital.
