Is 102 fever high?

Been feeling hot and sweaty all day. Checked my temperature and it's 102. Is this considered a high fever, or is it still manageable?

Haan beta, 102 is quite high. In our times, we would put cold compresses and drink turmeric milk. These can help a bit for comfort. But for 102, it is always wise to show a doctor. They will guide you better.

Absolutely, 102 is a high fever. Don't downplay it. See a doctor without delay, especially if you're experiencing other symptoms or if it doesn't come down.

When I had 102, I felt so drained and just completely out of it, it was really hard to cope mentally. So yes, it is high and can make you feel awful. Please prioritize rest and don't hesitate to seek medical help.

Yes, 102 is high. When you have such a fever, focus on light, nutritious vegetarian food like khichdi, dal water, and fresh fruit juices. Avoid anything heavy or oily. And of course, consult a doctor; diet alone won't fix it.

Yeah, 102 is high. I just recovered from a similar fever last week. It made me feel completely exhausted. My doc prescribed some meds and told me to rest. Don't wait too long to get it checked, it can make you feel really weak.

A 102 fever can definitely make you panic, I remember my heart racing when I saw that number once! While it's high, often it's just your body responding to an infection. Take it easy, hydrate, and if it persists after a day or so, a quick doctor visit is best.
