Okay. I've had a mild fever for three days. Peaked at 105. I know I'm sick, but this is worrying me. Hospital time?

Any fever over 99F can be serious. You really shouldn't be treating yourself if it was 105F! That's very dangerous. It mostly hints at an underlying problem and this might be just the incubation period. I was down with malaria last yr and it caused violent fevers that were too high (same as yours 105). This can only be treated in a hospital so call the doc asap! Good luck!

well have you had a good sweat and feaver is coming down slowly or are you steady sitting at 105? if its on its way down drink tons of fluids and feel like pooh for a couple days. if its not ER time!

Oh no. It's come down since 105. But it's not going away.
WildChld
how far has it come down? and do you have insurance? if your paying out of pocket and its at 101 and dropping I would snuggle up on the couch and chug water.
