What temp fever to go to hospital?
My temperature is quite high right now, and I'm not feeling good at all. I'm wondering at what temperature should I actually consider going to the hospital for a fever?

For adults, generally, a fever persistently above 103°F (39.4°C) warrants a hospital visit, especially if accompanied by severe symptoms like confusion, difficulty breathing, or severe headache. For infants or very young children, anything above 100.4°F (38°C) should be medically evaluated. Always consult your doctor for precise advice based on individual health status.

I totally get how scary it can be when the fever gets really high. For an adult, if it's consistently above 103°F (39.4°C) or if you're experiencing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, severe headache, or confusion, please go to the hospital. Don't wait.

Haan, ye bahut important question hai. Generally, adults ke liye agar fever 103°F (39.4°C) se upar jaaye aur utre nahi ya phir bahut zyada kamzori ho, toh hospital jaana chahiye. Aur agar chhote bachchon ko 100.4°F (38°C) se zyada ho, toh turant doc ko dikhao, na.

From my experience, don't take high fever lightly. If it's consistently 103°F (39.4°C) or more, or if you're having other bad symptoms like severe body ache, rash, or breathlessness, please go to the hospital. I once delayed and had complications, it's not worth the risk. Doctors are there for a reason.

Above 103°F (39.4°C) is usually the serious zone. Better to get it checked.
