Frequently Asked Questions About Fever
What temperature is considered a dangerous fever?
A fever above 39.5°C (103°F) in adults or 38°C (100.4°F) in infants requires immediate medical attention. However, even lower fevers warrant evaluation if accompanied by severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe headache with stiff neck, confusion, persistent vomiting, or if the fever lasts more than 3 days. In tropical areas like Khaolak, any fever lasting over 48 hours should be evaluated for dengue and other tropical diseases.
Could my fever be dengue?
Dengue fever is common in Thailand and typically presents with sudden high fever (39-40°C), severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and sometimes rash. It usually develops 4-7 days after a mosquito bite. If you have these symptoms, seek immediate testing. Dengue can progress to severe dengue (dengue hemorrhagic fever) which is life-threatening, so early diagnosis and monitoring are critical. Our rapid dengue tests provide results in 15 minutes.
Should I take fever-reducing medication before seeing the doctor?
It’s fine to take paracetamol (acetaminophen) to reduce discomfort while waiting for your appointment. However, avoid aspirin or ibuprofen if dengue is suspected, as these can increase bleeding risk. Taking fever reducers won’t interfere with diagnosis – our doctors look at your complete symptom picture and run appropriate tests regardless of your current temperature.
