Brief Answer:
You do not need emergency care at this stage.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. The symptoms you describe may indicate you are developing an infection. Your blood pressure is marginally raised but it does not need attention.
I suggest you take paracetamol. Drink plenty of water and rest if possible. I would expect you will feel better within 24 hours. You do not need to go to the ED.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
