How much is high fever in adults?

Please don't ignore it if it crosses 103 degrees. I once sat at home with a 103.5 fever thinking it would just go away, and ended up with a severe kidney infection. If it's high and not coming down, go see a doctor immediately.

If your thermometer reads 103, you are officially baking! Usually, 100-101 is just a mild warm-up, but once you cross 102, your body is seriously fighting something. Keep a damp cloth on your forehead and call your doc if you start seeing illusions, haha.

It is so scary when the thermometer crosses 102 and you start shivering uncontrollably. I totally understand how anxious you must be feeling right now. Just rest, sip some warm water, and let a doctor take a look if it doesn't settle down.

Generally, above 101.5 degrees is considered high for us adults. At home, we immediately start cold compresses on the forehead and armpits to bring the temperature down. Keep checking with a digital thermometer every two hours and consult your family doctor.
