At what temperature should you get concerned about (fever).

[davbrucas]

I've seen it in adults as well.

[8mpg]

motrin/ tylenol, a cool bath or shower and stay hydrated. if it gets much worse get in to a care now (cheap) or an ER (they have to treat you, they can bill you later)

Cycle between motrin and tylenol every 4 hours.

Go to a carenow or other urgent care place. They usually have nurse practitioners there to deal with normal stuff like this and aren't expensive.

About the only good advice in this thread... well except Dr Daves comment about not taking aspirin.

650-1000mg of Tylenol, then 4 hours later take 600-800mg of motrin, 4 hours later tylenol, etc

Whoever says hydrocodone and tylenol is an idiot. First off you dont need narcotics for fever. 2nd hydrocodone has tylenol in it. If you are taking 2 hydrocodone and 2 tylenol, that is 1300-1650mg of tylenol per dose. Bad idea

I was just Dr. Googling on ya LOL

Don't take a cold bath or shower. It will cause shivers which will bring your internal temp up. Take a warm bath with tylenol/aleve every 4 hrs and lots of water.

Worked on my truck last night until about 2 am trying to solve a coolant leak but the truck is too big to close the garage door so I was working in the low 40's but felt fine. Woke up this morning having uncontrollable chills and started puking up last nights El Fenix special. Temp was 100 when I woke up this morning and has now reached 103.2 and I feel terrible. No coughing, no sore throat, no sneezing...just burning the fuck up. I have no health insurance and I can't afford an emergency room visit. Should I just man up and wait it out or is 103 degree fever something to be concerned about?

Your dying.

If it hasn't been said, you need to go be seen ASAP. I've been told that under 103 is something you can power through (upper resp., colds, etc) but over 103 indicates something worse like flu, pneumonia, etc...
