How high can a fever go?

A fever can go up to 103 or 104 degrees during severe infections, which can dangerously spike your blood sugar levels too. It is important to stay hydrated with water and unsweetened lemon juice while monitoring your temperature. Consult your physician if it exceeds 102 degrees.

My son's temperature once touched 104 degrees during a severe ear infection, and we had to rush him to the emergency room. Fevers in children can rise very quickly, so always keep a working digital thermometer at home. Please do not hesitate to consult your pediatrician immediately.

I have seen viral fevers go up to 103 degrees quite commonly. You can place wet cotton cloths on the forehead and calf muscles to help cool the body down naturally. But remember, if it goes beyond 103, you must show a doctor and get proper medicine.

It can go up to 105 degrees, which is extremely scary because of the risk of seizures and brain complications. I get so panicked even when my thermometer reads 100 degrees. Please keep your doctor's number on speed dial just to stay safe.
