When you reach what temperature should you see a doctor?!
Question:
When you reach what temperature should you see a doctor?
Answers:
Our doctor has always said that it was more about, could we get the temperature down, than a certain reading we should come in at. Try a fever reducer (Tylenol, ibuprofen), if that won't lower the temp, then cool rags on pressure points. If that doesn't lower the temp then a cool bath making sure to get the back of the neck and head wet. Temperature still won't reduce, then head for the Dr. I have one son that if he runs a temp at all it is a high one over 102. That's why our Dr. said to do this, rather than just go with a number on the thermometer. Obviously any uncontrollable temp is dangerous. Hope this helps.
