Should you see a doctor with a 97.3 fever?
No, 97.3 is within normal body temperature range. It is said that 98.6 is body temperature though, like all systems, to forever maintain a constant temperature while subjected to external variants, it is impossible to instantaneously respond to the changes. Therefore your body temperature will fluctuate, if you exert, your body temperature will rise ergo you sweat to cool down, if you are exposed to low temperature you shiver in order to warm up. A variation of even 2 degrees F is not something to fret about unless it is persistent or perhaps you notice other symptoms such as swollen glands, lymph nodes, unclean cut... as those in association with a fever can indicate an infection. Hope this helps anyone in need of an answer.

What is the highest fever a human has survived?
As far as the highest fever a human has survived, according to NPR, a man named Willie Jones survived a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit. He holds the record for the highest recorded body temperature from the Guinness Book of World Records. On the other end of the spectrum, the same NPR article tells us that a woman named Anna Bagenholm survived a body temperature of 56.7 degrees after being under the ice for 80 minutes and then being resuscitated. Note: These are not normal body tolerances. Willie had to spend almost a month in the hospital, and Anna was clinically dead. Any fever over about 106 can cause brain damage, as can severely low temperatures. If your temperature hits 102, you should see a doctor, because something is wrong. Also, don't jump into ice water on purpose. It is super dangerous. These are not records you want to try for.

How bad is a 105.4 fever for a 15 year old?
It is very bad to get this much high fever. You can not wait till you go to doctor. You have to take the steps to reduce the fever. Uncover the body to the extent permitted by your culture. Put the wet towel on the chest and abdomen. Spin the towel to take out the water. Let some water remain there for evaporation. That is the way you are going to reduce the temperature. Putting the towel immersed in cold water is better, but very much uncomfortable to the patient. Start the fanning vigorously. The towel will become cool with in a minute and this will not cause any discomfort to the patient. Then apply the wet cloth to the upper and lower limbs. Here you should use the cold water. That is NOT much uncomfortable to the patient. The temperature of the cold water is to be ABOUT 20 degree Celsius. Please do not use the ice cold water. It will cause constriction of the blood vessels of the skin. The skin temperature will be low but body core temperature remain high. It may get raised eventually. The low skin temperature will give you false sense of security to you. The concept to apply the cold water is to transfer the body heat to the water. Then give tablet paracetamol 500 mg to the patient. It will take over in about one hour to reduce the body temperature. You stop the procedure once the oral or rectal temperature drops down to about 101 degree Celsius. The same can be repeated again and again. Some children gets convulsions in high temperature. They also can be managed at home only. Your physician will guide you properly. If you can get the medical help with in say five minutes, then wrap the person in wet towel and take him to the doctor.
