What are the symptoms of high fever?
My younger sister has had a fever for two days now, and it's quite high. We've been giving her paracetamol. What are the usual symptoms of a high fever that indicate it might be something more serious?

A high fever usually means your body temperature is above 103°F, and it is accompanied by heavy shivering, sweating, and intense headaches. Please monitor it closely.
Hey, don't stress too much, but a high fever can really drain you out. You'll feel super hot, get bad chills, have muscle aches, and maybe feel a bit dizzy. Just take complete rest, keep drinking water or coconut water, and show a doctor if it doesn't settle down soon, ok?
My family doctor told us that a high fever (above 103°F in adults) can cause severe dehydration, rapid heart rate, hallucinations, or even seizures in young kids. He advised that if the fever does not come down with paracetamol, or if it is accompanied by a stiff neck or breathing issues, you must go to an emergency room immediately.
Having thyroid issues, my body's temperature regulation is already sensitive, so a high fever really takes a toll on me. Along with shivering and hot skin, it can cause severe weakness and rapid heart rate. I always suggest getting proper blood tests done if the fever persists, to check for any underlying infections.
Oh, a high fever can make you feel super weak and sweaty! 🤒 Shivering, headache, and losing all interest in food are very classic signs. Just cozy up in bed, sip on warm soups, and let the doctor check you out to get you bouncing back soon! 🌸

Haan, jab tez bukhar hota hai toh poori body tawa jaisi garam ho jati hai aur thand lagkar kaphkapi aati hai, na? Sar mein bhi bohot tez dard hota hai aur kuch khane ka mann nahi karta. Aap thande pani ki patti rakho aur jaldi se doctor ko dikha lo.
