At what degree of fever should an adult go to er? etiology of fever unknown.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: You usually do not need to go to the emergency room because of a fever. This can usually be resolved with a visit to your regular doctor which will be much less expensive. If the fever is associated with your feeling very sick, with lightheadedness, shaking chills or dehydration than a visit to the er would be appropriate.
