When does a fever become worrisome?
Summary
A fever is typically a natural immune response, defined as a body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. While most fevers resolve on their own, certain signs indicate the need for professional evaluation. Seek medical attention if a fever persists for more than three days, reaches 104°F (40°C) or higher, or is accompanied by symptoms such as seizures, confusion, difficulty breathing, or persistent cough. High-risk groups—including infants under 3 months, adults over 65, and immunocompromised individuals—should be particularly vigilant. For mild fevers, rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications can provide relief.
