Stay in bed, keep cool if you're too hot but make sure your comfortable and not too cold. I had the hot shivers (i felt cold then really hot then really cold) for one night, and had a fever of 101. Drink as much orange juice as you can (vitamin C for your immune system) and keep in bed until it goes down. If it doesn't go down by tomorrow or the day after, consult a physician. Otherwise, if you're not in major pain, you can handle it - unless YOU feel something is REALLY wrong, you know your body best! Best of luck, take care.
That is not an issue, just drink plenty of water and get lots of rest!
not really
did you give the tylenol a chance to work? like half an hour? 101, even 104 won't kill you. tylenol really is the best medication to control it, perhaps you need to take another pill? the hospital likely isn't necessary. just make sure you take the tylenol every 4-6 hours for a day (approx) to keep the fever from coming back when the tylenol wears off-- it'll just keep you more comfortable.
[this is all assuming you haven't had any recent surgeries or anything like that]
no not until 105 do not worry take some ibuprofen
that is very high, i would phone a friend or family member to take you to hospital x
It would not be considered a high fever so there is no emergency. I hope we are talking about a known source for the fever like the flu. If it were of unknown origin or some type of skin infection i would see a doctor pronto.
Yes, that is really high. Try eating ice or a Popsicle if you have some.
Depends on your age - if your are out of your teens - you need to call the doctor's office and make an appt. I don't think you need to go the hospital.
Can a friend take you to an "Urgent Care" type facility?
Also, Aspirin is better for a fever if you can tolerate it or are not allergic to it. However, if you are in your teens, do not take aspirin, take advil, motrin or similar.
yea that is pretty bad, you can be coming down with the flu it is going around alot and it was the same thing with me but the temperature was not even close. you need to see a doctor right away or call an ambulance, they will pick u up and see whats wrong with you, but that might need medical attention...feel better
well..last friday i skipped school, because my temperature was 102. And then it got up to 103...and i had to go to the doctor. They gave me some medication to make it go down, and now im feeling a lot better than i did.
So, I say if it has been like that for awhile, then try to go to a doctor. If you can't get to one...then rest and water are key. It may be a 24 hour type thing...my was three and a half days...
Or take ibureproferen (sorry for the spelling mistake.)
I hope you feel better.
A fever of 101 does not require a trip to the hospital. You are fighting an infection of some type most likely and should consider what other symptoms you may be having. Ear pain -= ear infection, throat pain may be a throat infection or a sinus infection. Facial pain/headache = sinus infection. Increased urination/pain on urination = bladder/kidney infection. Try some Ibuprofen for the fever and rest. If you still have a fever in the next day or two then I would contact a doctor. In the meantime, try to relax and rest and listen to what your body is telling you.
if you are an adult a fever of 101 is a cause for concern...if the fever last for more than a day or two, you should seek medical attention immediately....if you don't have a car. call 911 and the city that you live in emergency medical services can get you to a hospital....
It shouldn't be a problem just don't go to work/school today and tell them you are running a fever but you should be better around tomorrow make sure you dring lots of water, sleep lots, and take the tylenal as often as it lets you.
Hope this helps,

No 101.6 unless you were an infant is nothing to worry about.
Keep cool, take tylenol again in 3-4 hours, drink plenty of water and continue this. Eat light meals the fluids will help more than food.
Fever is a signal that your body is fighting something off, so that's good thing. It could turn into something like a flu or cold from here, but the fever itself should subside after a day or so. If symptoms increase dramatically or the fever spikes to over 103 and remains there I would seek a doctors advise.
