A member asked:
For a 101.7 fever, should you cool the patient or bundle her up to keep her warm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No set rule.: If this is an infant, call your pediatrician. It's harder for adults/elderly patients to mount a high temperature, so they should be checked if the fever persists. Make sure the patient stays hydrated!
