What temperature is too high for adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Greater than 101: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is normal for adults. Give or take a few degrees. If it goes about 101 - now a fever and need to treat it with acetaminophen, rest, and doctor visit. Infection is occurring and needs to be found. It can quickly spread to sepsis so get medical care soon if this applies to you.
