What Is a Fever?<\/h2>\n

A fever is generally defined as a body temperature of 100.4\u00b0F (38\u00b0C) or higher. It usually means your immune system is working to fight off an infection.
While fevers are often a normal response, persistent or high fevers can signal something more serious, especially when accompanied by other symptoms.

    • For generally healthy adults and children over three months, a mild fever without distressing symptoms can often be monitored safely at home. Current medical guidance suggests treating a fever primarily if it is causing discomfort.<\/li>\n
    • Here are some tips for managing a fever at home:<\/li>\n
    • Rest in a cool and comfortable environment<\/li>\n
    • Stay hydrated with water, broth, or electrolyte drinks<\/li>\n
    • Use over-the-counter fever reducers like acetaminophen as directed<\/li>\n
    • Apply cool compresses to the forehead or taking a lukewarm bath.<\/li>\n
    • Monitor temperature regularly<\/li>\n
    • Home care is only appropriate when no \u201cred flag\u201d symptoms are present. The moment symptoms escalate or persist, it\u2019s time to seek professional evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Urgent care is appropriate for mild to moderate fevers without severe symptoms. Go to the emergency room for high fevers, breathing issues, confusion, or dehydration.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Not always. Many fevers help the body fight infection. However, high or persistent fevers can signal serious conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n
