Is 103.4 a dangerous body temperature?

Answer 1

This depends on the person's age, physical condition, and the cause and duration of the fever. Most healthy people can tolerate a few days of fever from 99 to 101 degrees F. A temp of 98.6F is considered normal but most people's "normal" can be a little higher or lower, plus depending on time of day taken.

When a fever reaches 103 to 104 degrees F, there is considerable danger, especially if the fever remains high. Babies, children, the elderly, and previously ill are at highest risk of death. Therefore, if your fever reaches 100-101 degrees F, and you are not feeling better, you need to see or call your doctor. If your baby or child, older parent/grandparent, or a previously ill person begins running a fever below 101, you should get the person to the doctor to prevent more severe illness.

Answer 2

Depends on the thermometric scale. If you are talking about °C, yes it is dangerous, it's hotter than boiling watter. If you are talking about °F, it is a dangerous body temperature (If it is a body temperature, find a doctor) but is not a dangerous environmental temperature (it is hot, but not dangerous, if you are in an environment that hot, you must keep drinking watter and find a more comfortable (and cold) place) . If you are talking about Kelvin (K) it is dangerous since is VERY VERY VERY VERY cold.

Answer 3

It's quite high, but yes.

Just make sure it doesn't go any higher.

Here are the categories:

Normal: 98.6

Mild: 99.2

Normal Fever: 100.2

80% Fever: 101.4

Bad fever: 102.5

Horrible fever: 103.2

See a doctor!: 104.0+

You can die!: 105.1+

My highest fever got to crazy of 103.9 F.

This should still be a trip to the doctor, though.

If somebody is trying to tell you

"You have 40 C!"

You probably have to see a doctor.

40 degrees Celsius is equal to 104 degreesFahrenheit.

An uncommon but so common cold,

"40.2 C" Means you MUST go to the doctor.

40.2 C is equal to 104.36 F and if you exceed 105.12,

It's possible that you can die.

Answer 4

YES go see a doctor or get to the hospital

It's certainly not normal. You might want to stay in bed take some tylonal and rest. See medical assistance if it gets worse.
