A member asked:

6 year old. fever between 39.0 and 39.9 for 2 days. lethargic. cough. no appetite. should he go to emerge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worth a visit: A constant fever at that level is worrisome. It would be suspicious for a bacterial infection needing treatment. Where you go depends on what's available. An urgent care center would be reasonable & less exposure to long waits & trauma.
