I have a fever of 102. I haven't told my boyfriend yet because I don't want to worry him. I'm starting to worry though. Should I be worried? Any ideas on how to get my fever down?
Seconding @mama_kat and @bke913 here about both Tylenol and temperature.
You should call your OB/GYN or family doctor as soon as possible. If your fever remains steady, go to the emergency room. Also, a cold/cool bath or shower may help. Keep fluids down, and instead of water, try to drink Gatorade if you can stomach it. It will help keep you from getting dehydrated.

@Mama_Kat headache is pretty much the only other symptom
