What is to high of a fever for a 17 year old?

Answer 1

103 is considered a high fever in a 12 year old. Except if the child has flu symptoms along with the fever of 102, if that is the case, call the doctor when the fever reaches 102. You should also call the doctor sooner than 103 if your child has had seizures in the past.

Answer 2

The Average Temperature for a person is 98.5 so anything higher then that would be above normal ! I would say maybe like 101-102 , I am not a docter or a nurse so you should talk to your docter about this question :D

The average temperature for a person is 98.6! At schools, most nurses don't send children home unless their temperature is 100 or higher. A high fever would be 104. But it depends. talk to a doctor.

Answer 3

Temperature of 102 degree F and above is generally considered as high in children. But it is important to remember that while assessing a child with fever we should not depend only on the degree of fever. A child with high fever may have a minor infection while a child with a serious disease may have mild fever. We should take into consideration other associated symptoms and the appearance of the child.

Answer 4

when a fever gets higher than 101 you should start to worry and take your child to the hospital for some medicine or antibiotics
