Fever symptoms got you down? If you’re struggling to manage a cold, the flu, or COVID-19 and are looking to find relief from a lingering fever, PhysicianOne Urgent Care in Franklin, Massachusetts, is here to help. Our physician-led urgent care practice offers in-person treatment and telemedicine services 365 days per year, so you’ll always have somewhere to turn for convenient and reliable medical care.

What Is Considered a Fever?

A normal body temperature can range between 97.5 and 98.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Many medical professionals consider a temperature higher than 100.4 degrees to be a fever, although having an elevated body temperature isn’t necessarily a cause for alarm. Running a fever means your immune system is functioning as it should by fighting off foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses.

Still, dealing with fever symptoms is never fun. Do yourself a favor and reach out to PhysicianOne Urgent Care for fever treatment if your symptoms—which may include aching, intense fatigue, diarrhea, and constipation—persist or worsen despite self-care measures. It’s also a good idea to seek medical care if your infant or toddler has a fever.

When to Seek Emergency Fever Treatment

Although uncommon, some fever symptoms warrant immediate care in an emergency room. Call 911 or go to the nearest ER if a fever:

  • Exceeds 103 degrees
  • Lasts for more than three days
  • Is accompanied by nausea, confusion, a rash, or a painful headache
  • Occurs alongside symptoms in an infant or toddler
