What To Do If Fever Is Over 40 Degrees? [Solved]

- Fever: A fever is a body temperature that is higher than normal. A fever of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) is considered a high fever and requires medical attention.
coughing
- Coughing: Coughing is the body’s natural way of clearing the airways of irritants, such as dust, smoke, or bacteria. It can be dry or productive (producing mucus). Persistent coughing may indicate an underlying health condition and should be evaluated by a doctor.
shortness of breath
- Shortness of Breath: Shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea, occurs when breathing becomes difficult due to an obstruction in the airways or insufficient oxygen supply to the lungs. It can be caused by asthma, COPD, heart failure, pneumonia and other conditions and should be evaluated by a doctor if it persists for more than a few minutes at a time.
fatigue
- Fatigue: Fatigue is extreme tiredness that does not go away with rest or sleep. It can be caused by physical exertion or emotional stress but can also indicate an underlying medical condition such as anemia or depression. If fatigue persists for more than two weeks it should be evaluated by a doctor.
Wow, a fever of 40 degrees is really high! That’s definitely something to be concerned about. You should get checked out right away - no time to waste!
