If you are unable to get medicine right now, you can try taking over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to help reduce any pain or fever that may be keeping you awake. Additionally, you can try using a cold compress on your forehead to help bring down your temperature and promote relaxation. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a comfortable sleep environment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
