Hi there, My father is currently very I ll in bed. He has been I ll all day but my father rarely feels I ll and never asks for a doctor to come out but he just has. He feels sick, going from hot and cold , his forehead is very hot, having back pains, neck pains and says it hurts to look into any light, do you have any idea what this could be? Thank you for your time, George.
