Question: At what point should a male adult go to the hospital with a fever!?
I'm a 31 yr old white (for what it might matter) male with an ear ache in his left ear and a temperature of 101!.6, Should I be worried yet!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
No, that's a low-grade fever!. If it gets to 103 or above and stays there for more than a short period of time, then you might consider going to the hospital!. If it gets up to 104 or above then you should definitely go to the hospital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would be worried that I was developing an ear infection!. But the temperature itself is not too high yet or anything!. I would be at the hospital if it got over 103!.!.!. BUT, you might want to just head off a trip to the hospital by making an appointment for tomorrow morning at the doctor because you are probably headed toward a worse infection it sounds like!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
