Fever is a temporary rise in body temperature, usually above 37.5 °C (99.5 °F). It is one of the body's natural responses to infection or illness. Common causes include viral infections such as colds and flu, bacterial infections, and inflammatory conditions.
See a doctor if no improvement
See a doctor if your fever lasts more than three days, goes above 39.4 °C (103 °F), or is accompanied by severe headache, stiff neck, rash, or difficulty breathing. For infants under three months with any fever, seek medical attention right away. When in doubt, consult a physician.
