fever estimates, 12 and older

if you're not sure if a fever is high, moderate, or mild, think about these issues:

with a high fever:

  • you feel very hot.
  • it is likely one of the highest fevers you've ever had. high fevers are not that common, especially in adults.

with a moderate fever:

  • you feel warm or hot.
  • you know you have a fever.

with a mild fever:

  • you may feel a little warm.
  • you think you might have a fever, but you're not sure.
