My 7 year old has a fever of 39.0 c should i take her to the hospital.?

Other symptoms?: Fever is over-rated as an indicator of seriousness.A kid with a 39c temp, who is taking fluids well enough to void every 6-8 hours is at low risk for dehydration. If aleart and aware, with mild increase in heart rate and breathing, you may do well to wait until a regular doc is available.If excessively sleepy, refusing fluids, or showing other symptoms suggestive of big problems go now.

Symptoms: What else is going on? Is she vomiting? Is she lethargic? Does she have a headache? If any of these are also present, then yes.

Fever can be good!: Fever is common with many infections because it is the body's defense system. Many people fear fever unnecessarily. It only needs to be brought down if it makes a person uncomfortable, otherwise let the body fight off the infection! the temperature doesn't tell how sick the child is. Look at hydration, work of breathing, level of pain, & mental status. If these are concerning, she should be seen.

Fever: The more important question is what other symptoms does your child have.? Fever is just a symptom of an illness. There is rarely, very rarely a reason to take a child to an emergency room for a fever. You should call your child's primary care provider for further advice about the specifics of your child's illness.
