Suggest Treatment For Stiff Neck And Fever

I haven t done exercise in a long time, and just 4 days ago I did as many push ups and sit-ups as I can. My muscles were soar but I went to my friends graduation party and went into a creek, the creek was cold water and I didn t actually swim we just walked through it. The following day my eyes felt sensitive to light, just a little bit, but toward the end of the day it was bad. I through up that night and discovered have some sort of fever. After suffering through the night with really soar muscles and some what of a high temperature I don t feel as bad. But now that the end of the day is coming again and it wasn t as bad as last night my neck isn t too stiff but it kind of hurts when I look down or left to right. Is it possible that I have meningitis? or is neck pain like that normal for fever?
