How much fever is too high?
My husband has a fever and it seems to be increasing. I'm worried, at what point does a fever become dangerously high for an adult?

For me, anything above 101F feels really bad and I usually take medicine by then. Once it went to 103F and I got really scared, had to rush to the doc. Just my personal experience.
Too high? When I'm shivering under three blankets in summer, that's too high for me! Honestly, anything that makes me feel like I can't even sleep properly is already too much. Ugh, just the thought makes me tired.
For me, 'too high' is when my wife starts looking at me like I'm about to spontaneously combust. Jokes apart, if it crosses 102F and doesn't come down with a paracetamol, that's when I start panicking a little. Getting old, na, small things feel big.
Beta, agar bachche ko bukhar 102 se upar chala jaye na, toh turant doctor ko dikhao. Bado ko bhi agar bahut kamzori lagne lage, toh der mat karo. Garam paani ki patti bhi lagate raho. Apne shareer ka dhyan rakho.

Honestly, fever can be tricky. It's not just the number but also other symptoms. If it's persistently high, or if you feel very unwell, have a severe headache, or trouble breathing, please don't wait. Get it checked by a doctor immediately, just to be safe.
