If you have the following symptoms, then you need to see your doctor:
A fever with a sore throat, earache, or frequent cough
Fever that lasts 3 days or longer
Fever with vomiting
Shaking, teeth-chattering chills
Fever with back pain or painful urination
Oral temperature higher than 100.4 degrees
Fever in an older person, who is suddenly confused
Fever with stiff neck
Lower abdominal pain and fever for more than 2 hours

If you have a fever, but do not have any of the above symptoms then try the following:
If you have no other symptoms, drugs are not necessary.
But if the fever makes you uncomfortable, take aspirin or acetaminophen. For children, use acetaminophen, not aspirin.
Drink 8 glasses of fluid a day. When you have a fever, your body loses fluids, so it's important to prevent dehydration. Avoid drinking coffee or tea, which can also cause fluid loss.
