How high of a fever is too high?
My young daughter has a fever and it's been fluctuating. I'm always a bit anxious when she's sick. What temperature is considered 'too high' for a fever in a child, and when should I be really concerned?

Haan na, 103 degrees is definitely too high, whether it is for adults or kids. Actually, once it goes past 102, we should be alert and call the doctor.

In general, a fever of 103°F (39.4°C) or higher is considered too high for adults and requires medical attention. Try to keep the room cool and consult your doctor for safe dosage of medicines.

I used to panic when my temperature hit 101, but doctors reassured me that the body is just fighting the virus. However, if it touches 103, then it is indeed too high and needs a proper checkup.
