Do i have west nile virus?

I have 17 mosquito bites, my throut itches, i have a headach im tired.

please tell me if your are a doctor or nurse please

Depends on where you live, the chances of WNV vary greatly by states. If it's just a headache and fatigue, I wouldn't run off to the ER. If you get serious muscle stiffness, or a very sore neck(in the muscles, not a sore throat), then it would be time to seek medical care. Otherwise, take an Advil and a nap.

if you are not feeling well, go to the dr or a med center; since your 17, tell your parents

My non-doctor, non-nurse advice.....don't waste time getting answers online.....run, don't walk, to your nearest ER. Don't take chances. I've heard too many frightening reports of the ravages of West Nile.

No you do not have West Nile. I had a misquito bite as big as a pancake, about five inches long and it wrapped around my upper thigh. Not exagerating. And I actually put pickles slices on it and it went away. So, try it, and your misquto bites will go away...
(If it makes you feel any better, my friend got 42 on each leg plus fifteen on her arms...but hers are small and look like chicken pocks...)

GO to a doctor!! You probably have Malaria!
here are the symptoms-

Causes and Risk Factors of Malaria
Malaria comes from being bitten by a mosquito carrying the malaria organism. Risk factors include traveling in areas in which such mosquitoes are found or, rarely, being bitten by a mosquito that has previously fed on an "imported" case of malaria (such that the case can occur in an area of the world where malaria is not endemic).

Symptoms of Malaria
Malarial attacks present over 4 to 6 hours with shaking chills, high fever, and sweating, and are often associated with fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, dry cough, muscle or joint pain, and back ache. The attacks may occur every other day or every third day.

Cerebral malaria and death can occur, sometimes within 24 hours, if the infection is caused by plasmodium falciparum.

Fever or other symptoms can develop in malaria as early as 8 days or as late as 60 days after exposure or stopping prophylaxis. For plasmodium vivax in temperate areas, the delay may be up to one year.

Diagnosis of Malaria
Methods of diagnosis are:

* complete medical history of symptoms and travel

* physical examination

* blood tests, including thick and thin blood films, to identify the plasmodium species responsible for infection

Treatment of Malaria
Medical treatment should be sought immediately.The effectiveness of antimalarial drugs differs with different species of the parasite and with different stages of the parasite's life cycle. Your physician will determine the treatment plan most appropriate for your individual condition.

Drugs include chloroquine, mefloquine, primaquine, quinine, pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine (Fansidar), and doxycycline. Some plasmodium have developed resistance to certain medications, and therefore, alternative medications will be prescribed for you.
