    Pro tip even just cracking 100 isn’t really a fever, do something like 101.2 that’s a fever, but not high enough to seek medical attention just yet, so there’s no having to go to the hospital. A fever of 103 is something you need to checked out urgently to immediately

      It depends on the person. One of my kids goes to 104 every time she gets a fever. It scared the crap out of me the first time but now I know to expect it.

        I’m on the other end. I’m usually between 95 and 97. 101 = I need immediate attention and it’s hard to get medical professionals to take me seriously. They ignore me till someone makes a scene and then freak out once they measure my blood pressure. C’est la vie 🤷‍♂️
