In children, a fever above 38,5°C requires an immediate call to the doctor, or emergency health service.
It's to be known that a fever exceeding 39°C can cause ceizures and brain damages.
While the medical team is on the way, cool the child down with water-soaked tissues, and open the windows (unless it's freezing outside).
DO NOT USE ICE - DO NOT PLACE THE CHILD NEAR OR IN A REFRIGERATOR - DO NOT PLACE THE CHILD OUTDOOR.
In adults, a fever exceeding 39 should be real concern. A fever exceeding 40 requires a call to the doctor.

Yes - but it might be better if someone else drove him there. Answer Call your regular doctor--they usually have someone on call.
