I'm suffering from fever with temperature 102 degree f what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't panic: While that temperature is considered a fever, it is not by any means a dangerous temperature. Your body makes a temperature to fight off germs, both bacteria and virus, that cause infections. The fever actually helps your immune system work better. Keep yourself well hydrated, as a temperature causes you to need more fluids. See doc in next few days if fever doesn't go away or other symptoms.
