103* and you should go to the hospital because they could have pnemonia
102 or higher
a baby maybe 102 an older kid maybe 104
It depends on the age. If its younger than five years, the temp is about 102. Anything older and younger than 12, is 103.5.
If its higher than that, go to the hospital ;]
103+ is dangerous...you could risk brain damage if it is not lowers immediately
when it says hospital or !04 !!! not them selves
A child can tolerate a higher fever than an adult, but you should still go to the ER if its over 102.
101, call the doc, may need to be at a hospital pronto.
I think half of this is a person's personal comfort zone. I've had nurses and doctors not bat an eye at 103.5. My comfort zone is 102 on a high end when I start to medicate or toss 'em in the tub.
the evolutionary advantage for humans to get fever is that most viruses slow down or can't replicate at the higher temp , thereby giving the white blood cells time to 'eat ' them up before they multiply . sometimes a fever can be a good thing , to shorten an illness .
