Know When To Seek Care

A fever is one of the body's natural responses to illness. In many cases, it can be a sign that your immune system is working to fight an infection. While many fevers improve with rest, fluids, and time, some may require medical evaluation—especially when accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

Instead of sitting in a crowded waiting room while feeling unwell, UrgentCare2Go brings licensed medical providers directly to eligible homes, hotels, workplaces, assisted living communities, and other locations throughout Texas, making it easier to receive professional medical care where you're most comfortable.

What Is Considered A Fever?

Most healthcare providers consider a body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher to be a fever.

Fevers can be caused by many different conditions, including:

• Viral illnesses
• Influenza (Flu)
• COVID-19
• Respiratory infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Certain inflammatory conditions

A fever alone doesn't always indicate how serious an illness may be, which is why it's important to consider your overall symptoms.

Symptoms That May Need Medical Evaluation

A healthcare provider may recommend an evaluation if a fever is accompanied by symptoms such as:

• Persistent cough
• Sore throat
• Ear pain
• Difficulty swallowing
• Severe body aches
• Ongoing vomiting or diarrhea
• Rash
• Increasing fatigue
• Signs of dehydration
• Symptoms that are worsening or not improving

Our providers evaluate the complete clinical picture to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
