What is a fever?

Different people have slightly differing core body temperatures. Thermoregulation, which is the body’s ability to stabilize heat dissipation and heat retention, is affected by levels of physical activity, age, the time of day, and other factors.

A fever is typically any temperature above the average core body temperature. For most people, a low-grade fever is a temperature between 99.1°F and 100.4°F.

A high fever is a temperature above 102.4°F.

Common causes of a fever

Fevers are typically caused by an infection. However, a person’s body temperature can rise due to multiple factors, including:

  • Bacterial Infections like Salmonella, E.coli, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and meningitis
  • Viral infections like influenza (the flu) and COVID-19
  • Responses to vaccines or immunizations
  • Post-surgery complications
  • Certain forms of cancer

When a fever requires immediate medical attention

A fever can be a symptom of serious underlying issues. Moreover, the long-term effects of a persistent fever on organ function can be significant.

According to research published in the medical journal Critical Care, cellular damage from non-sepsis fever can trigger life-threatening medical complications.

  • Persistent dizziness or confusion
  • Rapid heartbeat or breathing
  • Little to no urination
  • Sunken eyes or dry, shriveled skin
  • Severe fatigue or lethargy

Our experienced ER team provides expert dehydration IV therapy and stabilization to address these symptoms and restore your health.
