I had 40-41 as a kid and it was so surreal. Especially because it was mod summer

Once had the flu with a fever of 106-107(almost 42c)...I was taken to the hospital and the doctor literally threw me into an ice bath... I was crying and he said "I'm sorry but you will be dead soon unless we drop that fever"

I had to continue taking ice baths at home because the fever kept creeping back up to that range. They're not fun...

While 104 is contact an MD range.

Fevers have to get to 108F to cause brain damage. 106F is definitely in the seek treatment range!

But normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for sick children.
