If you have a fever, it is usually not necessary to go to the hospital unless you are experiencing other symptoms that suggest a serious medical condition. In general, a fever is a natural response to an infection and is usually not harmful.
However, if you have a fever and are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be advisable to seek medical attention:
Severe or persistent headache
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Chest pain or pressure
Confusion or disorientation
Seizures
Abdominal pain or persistent vomiting
Pain or stiffness in the neck
Severe muscle or joint pain
Skin rash or redness that is spreading rapidly
If you have a fever and are not sure whether you should go to the hospital, you can call your healthcare provider for advice. They can help you determine whether your symptoms warrant a trip to the hospital or whether they can be treated at home.
