What counts as a high fever?
My little one has been feeling quite warm since morning, and the thermometer shows 101.5°F. My wife and I are a bit worried, so we were wondering at what temperature it's actually considered a high fever for a child?

Hmm, I always get confused between regular fever and high fever. So, what temperature exactly would be considered 'high' that needs immediate doctor attention?
Beta, for us elders, anything above 102°F (39°C) feels like a high fever. I remember having 103-104 as a child, those were tough days. Don't panic, just monitor and call your doctor if it's very high.
For adults, generally 102°F (39°C) or above is considered high. If you have conditions like high BP, a high fever needs to be taken seriously. Don't delay seeing your doctor.
Anything above 102°F (39°C) is definitely a high fever, especially if it doesn't come down. My relative once had a very high fever that led to other complications. Please, always consult a doctor immediately if it's that high or persistent.
