      From what I’ve read, anything over about 101F is doing more harm than good.

          Pretty sure it’s anything at 42°C or above that is a vital emergency, as it starts to destroy neurons

          39°C is basically a normal fever

          38C is a nice handful, not a temperature.

        This does not appear to match the evidence anymore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7717216/

        The body is generally unable to raise the core temperature to the point where it can cause permanent damage, unless the ambient temperature is high. That is, unless there is a pre-existing heart or other vital organ condition.

        In fact, fevers >=39C (102.2F) showed better outcomes in covid patients.

            Apparently, ~108F, but generally, the body needs help to get there.

    Having a fever I can deal with, but I will immediately take some meds to not have a headache. Unfortunately, usually a fever comes with a headache.:(

    I only know ibuprofen as a pain killer, but good to know it can also reduce fever!
