High Fever
Urgent Care or ER?
A fever is a higher-than-normal body temperature that can have many causes.
Fevers often happen when your body is fighting illness such as bacteria or viruses. They can also occur with heat exhaustion, sunburn, some immunizations, or certain medications. It is important with any fever to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
