Suggest Treatment For Fever And Weakness Caused After A Hangover

Hello, I took 2 and half percocet 10's last night, along with large quantities of alcohol, the result was devastating and I ended up vomiting for the majority of the night and delirious for the rest of the morning. I came back to reality around 12 noonish and I've been in an extraordinary amount of pain since then. On top of that, I've also been developing a fever and my body seems to continuously get weaker. Can you give me any advice on what i should do? Another thing about the pain is that it feels like an intense flu body ache, except there's no flu that would have me unable to move. Any idea on what course of action I should take?

Hydration and tylenol help a hangover and this gets better in hours.
HOWEVER, this would not cause fever. On the other hand, having a near-fatal aspiration while impaird would cause a gradual pneumonia in the next 1 to 2 days. This can be quite serious and a simple evaluation and chest x-ray would tell what to do to get it better. (of course if the fever gets better and doesnt come back then there wasn't anything all that serious).
