A member asked:
How high should the temperature of someone recovering from a tramautiv brain injury get before they are taken to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
38.5 C: 38.5 c is the temperature in the hospital where we start to get worried and treat the patient with tylenol (acetaminophen) or other cooling measures. However, it depends on the circumstances and the degree of head injury. Is the patient awake or still in coma? The rationale for being concerned is that you want to find the source of the fever. Infections from the lungs and urinary tract are common.
