no 100.5 is not harmful. fevers are your bodies way of killing the infection. if the fever gets to 103 you can take some ibuprofen to lower the fever. don't got to the hospital till the fever is above 104 and most likely they will just give you ibuprofen and charge you a ton for it.

∙ 12y agoYou should DEFINITELY go to the doctors if your temp passes 100 let alone 102!!!! Get there FAST!
Answer
It depends on your other symptoms--severe headache, unstoppable vomiting and so on. Try taking the full recommended amount of ibuprofen/aspirin/tylenol on a schedule, drink plenty of liquids and rest. Call in to your doctor if you continue to have the high fever.

∙ 12y agoI would wait it out for a day. Take a cool bath, drink lots of liquids, and rest. If the temperature stays the same or rises go to the doctor, if not then you are fine.
