Severe fever typically refers to a high body temperature, often defined as a fever exceeding 102°F (38.9°C) when measured orally. Such elevated temperatures can indicate a serious infection or illness and may require medical attention, especially if accompanied by other concerning symptoms. It’s important to monitor the fever and seek medical advice if it persists or worsens.
