Doctors state that a fever you need to be concerned about is anything close to 101 degrees. At 100 degrees you have a quot;low-grade fever.quot; if a fever reaches anywhere close to 103 degree fever seek an ER or clinic IMMEDIATELY!

It also works in reverse. A 97 degree fever is considered a low-grade fever as well. if your temperature gets close to 95 degree, call your doctor or go to the ER.

What I've written is for adults only as babies have a completely different variation.

You should be drinking a lot and you can also take some Tylenol. Feel better soon!

The normal body temperature is 98.6F. Any temperature above this is considered to be a fever. You can read more on http://firstaid.webmd.com/body-temperature.

I know from having kids that now dr's say a legal fever is 100.0/101.0... Also interesting fact is people fever differently. On Some people their heads/temples will be hot to the touch, hands or feet. USE YOUR WRIST. As it is the best part of your body to be sensitive enough to feel the slightest of temperatures. Call dr. if you feel that your running a fever.

115 deg celsius or so, and if you don't believe me, you can verify it in the Science book that comes from your local tax payers.

115 degrees Celsius equals 239 degrees Fahrenheit which would mean the person would be dead..
