What is highest temperature of fever?

My daughter got a really high fever last night, 104°F. We managed to bring it down, but it got me thinking. What is generally considered the absolute highest temperature a fever can reach before it becomes extremely dangerous?

A fever reaching 104°F or 105°F is extremely high for adults and can be dangerous. Keep your body hydrated and immediately contact a doctor to bring it down, as such high temperatures need medical attention.

Beta, agar fever 103 ya 104 tak pahunch jaye toh use bohot tez bukhar maana jata hai. Aise mein dher saari thandi patti sir par rakhein aur jald se jald doctor ke paas le jayein.

A temperature of 104°F or above is considered an extremely high fever. Please stay calm, keep the room cool, and consult a doctor immediately for safe medicine.

I got so terrified when my husband's fever hit 104°F, but the doctor explained that the body is just fighting the infection. Once we gave him the prescribed medicine and cold compresses, it came down safely. Don't panic, but do consult a doctor.

Hitting 104°F or 105°F means your body is basically acting like a boiling geyser. Don't wait for your brain to melt; grab a damp cloth, take your meds, and call your doctor right away!

Fevers above 103°F are dangerously high and can lead to severe dehydration. Ensure the patient is given plenty of water or coconut water in small sips, and seek medical help immediately.
