Fever Symptoms Promptly Evaluated in Groton, CT

A fever is a rise in normal body temperature, typically above 100.4°F. When a fever occurs, this often means that your immune system has been activated to fight an infection, as it’s harder for viruses and bacteria to live in a high-temperature environment. For most people experiencing fever symptoms, at-home remedies are all that’s needed to find relief. Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can ease discomfort, and drinking lots of liquids can replenish the body. However, if your fever is accompanied by other symptoms—such as a rash, sensitivity to bright light, abdominal pain, a stiff neck, or vomiting—or if your fever is very high (at least 103°F), you should seek medical attention.
