Answers:
You won't die if you go to school, but you would feel terrible. A fever can cause you to feel very dizzy. If you have had a sore throat with a fever for 4 or 5 days you really have to go to your doctor to have a throat culture done to check for strep.

While you are waiting to go to your doctor, drink lots of warm tea with honey and get lots of rest.Health Question & Answer

Go see a doctor. 4 or 5 days is too long to have a fever. Get the rest, your not helping by going to school. I hope you don't have mono
As for the sore throat gargle with warm salty water. Works every time but tastes awful. not as bad as Buckley's cough syrupHealth Question & Answer

Consult your Physician soonest. If its not possible, an alternative herbal medicine will help subside your fever and hopefully your sore throat too that causes the fever. If you know or if you have 'Amarikin' outside your lawn, it is a shrub with small green leaves and small whitish flowers and has a very distinguished aromatic fragrance soothing to the smell. This is the very herb that Hare Krishna used. Get a handful of leaves and crushed it with heated 'kalamansi' or lemon for the juice. Then, apply it all throughout your body through gentle massage and go to bed covering all your body with blanket. You will fall into sleep while its working its wonder in time. You will be awakened by your profused perspiration but to find out that your fever and sore is gone.Health Question & Answer

I totally agree with the first poster... you should see a dr. if it's been 4-5 days with throat AND a fever.
In the meantime, you can also chop up 2 cloves of garlic really really tiny and swallow whole with water (don't chew, or you'll burn your mouth off!! LOL), but garlic is antibacterial and antifungal and kills all infections, so if it's an infection in your throat causing the fever, then this should help it. You can take 2 cloves a day as long as you like, also take 4000mg-5000mg of Vit. C daily until the sickness is over (you can check with your doc first if you like, but I've never heard of anything happening from taking too much Vit. C - except sometimes diarrhea). Definitely cut out all sugar, dairy and caffeine until you feel better, as that will work against you. There are many good herbal teas you can try, and gargling with warm salt water with a tiny bit of vinegar in it 10-12 times a day is a good idea too - it will help with the throat.
The dizzy spells and hot and cold feeling is probably because of the fever, but you should definitely check that with your doc to.

Hope you feel better soon!Health Question & Answer
