A member asked:
How high should you let a child's fever get before taking him to the e.r.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How old?: The age of the child will influence whether the degree of fever may be placing them at risk, but if they have a body temperature of more than 104.5 it might be a good idea to have a doctor see them.
