Sweating with fever in adults

How and when you should treat a fever can vary depending on a person’s age and associated symptoms. If left untreated, fever can lead to serious complications in young children, older adults, and people with compromised immune systems.

Adults with a fever and other symptoms, such as a stiff neck, severe pain anywhere in the body, or shortness of breath, should seek immediate medical attention.

Similarly, if your fever goes above 103°F (39.4°C) or doesn’t respond to treatment, it may be best to seek medical assistance.

A doctor should see infants up to 3 months old with a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or above.

They should still see a doctor even if there are no other symptoms present.

Babies 3 to 6 months old may not require treatment for fevers up to 102°F (38.9°C). If your baby has other symptoms or their fever goes above 102°F (38.9°C), call your doctor.

If you have a weakened immune system and start experiencing fever, seek medical assistance.
