This depends on several other variables - what is the age of the patient (for a newborn this is dire while a teenager may be able to handle it better), what other symptoms of disease does the patient have, does the patient have any chronic or complicating medical conditions, etc?

In an otherwise healthy young adult human, a temperature of 102.7 is of concern but not necessarily a medical emergency - the person should be monitored closely by a healthy (non-fevered) adult for deterioration in the patient's condition.
