Question

I'm 22 years old and have a fever of 100.0F... when should I see a doctor for sure?

My usual temperature hovers around 97.3, so this is a bit high for me

Answer 1

103 to 104=super bad. take a cold shower if you dont have time for the doctor.

Answer 2

around 96- 98.6 is good

100-103 is fever so sray home

104+ go to the doctor

Answer 3

I suggest you put details like how you feel,symptoms, ect.

Answer 4

take some medicine and if it doesn't get any better or it gets higher then I would check into going to the doctor. It just depends on how bad your symptoms are and if you really think you should.  

Answer 5

Don't worry, it is fine. You should just drink some water and maybe take some Tylenol. You should worry when it reaches 101.0F

Answer 6

At 102, or if you begin to feel your heart rate quickening, feel short of breath, feel dizzy, or feel anything else that is strange.

You body will tell you when its really in trouble, take it seriously.

Answer 7

The answer is it depend on how you feel otherwise.  How long have you been sick, what your symptoms are.  Sounds like you have a low grade fever and if you are coughing up phlegm, or have another serious symptom, I would say go see your doctor, otherwise probably not.

Answer 8

Make for sure you are drinking a lot of fluids. Take tylenol and motrin. alternate them every four hours. If the temperature stays up see a doctor.

Answer 9

Well if your temp goes up too 105-110 your at risk for brain damage

It could be something simple but if it keeps going up see a doctor for sure.

Answer 10

when it goes above 102F

take tylenol or any acetaminophen every 4 hours and keep checking your temperature for the same ammount of time. drink fluids (water fruit juice etc.) as well because that will help a lot.

Answer 11

if your fever reaches even a little higher then that you should go see that doctor it usually means it's only going to get worse if it gets higher.

if it doesn't get any higher just sleep it out that usually helps or drink hot tea or soup.

I know you can die of a fever from 105-108 degrees just so you know.

~I hope you get better~

Answer 12

if you reach 104 ...

Answer 13

If your temperature is up to 104 degrees, that's when it can be dangerous. I would see a doctor if it climbs this high.

Answer 14

Well your normal temperature is kinda low...i would say 98.7 is normal...100 is bedridden time.

Answer 15

you should probably go now
