Howdy, iam Mary Wilson, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.
Oh man, I’m not feeling so hot - literally! I’ve got a 39 high fever and it’s really knocking me for six. It’s like my body is on fire and I’m just trying to ride out the storm. Ugh, this is no fun at all. Hopefully it’ll pass soon and I can get back to normal.
Is 39.5 A High Fever? [Solved]
Generally, if your temperature is 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, you’ve got a fever. Anything over 103.1°F (39.5°C) is considered a high fever - so watch out!
Temperature: A fever is defined as a body temperature that is higher than normal, usually above 100.4°F (38°C).
Symptoms: Common symptoms of a high fever include chills, sweating, headache, muscle aches and pains, loss of appetite, fatigue and dehydration.
Causes: High fevers can be caused by viral or bacterial infections such as the flu or strep throat; other causes may include certain medications or immunizations.
Treatment: Treatment for a high fever typically involves taking over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce the temperature and relieve discomfort; drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated; and getting plenty of rest to help the body fight off infection.
Complications: If left untreated, high fevers can lead to serious complications such as seizures or brain damage in young children; it is important to seek medical attention if the fever persists for more than three days or if it reaches 103°F (39°C) or higher in adults and 102°F (38°C) in children under two years old.
Yikes, 39° is a high fever! That’s way too hot. It’s time to call the doctor and get it checked out. You don’t want to mess around with something like that - it could be serious.
