What is classified as a high fever?

With my high blood pressure, any fever above 101 makes me very anxious as it spikes my heart rate. A high fever is generally 103 degrees, and you should never ignore it. Get your basic blood tests done if it persists, and keep an eye on your BP and hydration levels too.

Honestly, even 101 feels like a lot when your body is aching. When I have a mild fever, I try to do very light stretching inside the room just to keep active, but with a high fever like 103, please just rest completely. Don't push your body for any physical activity or walking unless your doctor says you are fully recovered.

My family doctor explained that anything over 102 degrees Fahrenheit is where we need to be really careful, and 103 or higher is definitely a high fever. He told us that if the fever doesn't come down after taking prescribed medicine or if it stays high for more than 48 hours, we must go to the clinic immediately. Keep tracking the temperature every few hours.

Yaar, for me even 100 degrees feels like I am melting and can't sleep at all. But medically, my doc said 103 is the actual high fever zone where you should stop experimenting with home remedies. If you are shivering and holding a thermometer at 3 AM like me, just get it checked by a professional.
