Should I worry about a 104-degree fever in a 4-year-old?

Answer by  Roland27 (16334)

You should be at the Emergency Room not on the internet for a fever of 103 or higher. If your Child's fever gets to 106 it could cause brain damage.

That is an extremely high fever, and your child is in immediate danger. You should get them to a doctor or emergency room immediately. A fever that high can cause brain damage or even death if left untreated. Speed is important when a fever is that high; you must get treatment right away!

Yes. That is a very high fever even for a small child. Any fever over 102 should send you straight to the doctor.

That is a fairly high fever. Especially with children that young, it is important to err on the side of caution. I recommend taking your child to see a doctor.
