High Fevers
Fevers generally occur when your body has some kind of infection or inflammation, and they can be associated with many different kinds of illnesses. An increased body temperature can cause you to experience chills, headaches, body pain, and other kinds of discomfort. Many fevers will go away by themselves, but some can be very dangerous if they are left untreated. If a high fever is allowed to persist, it can cause serious and even life-threatening conditions.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a dangerously high or persistent fever, he or she may be in danger of suffering serious consequences.

Dangerous Conditions and Fevers
Although fevers can be associated with minor illnesses and may not always be serious, they can sometimes be very dangerous, especially when a high fever is combined with other health issues. For instance, if a high fever is associated with the following, a person’s health is at greater risk:
- Chest pain
- Meningitis
- Confusion / excessive fatigue
- Rash
- Difficulty breathing
- Persistent vomiting
Anyone who is experiencing a fever in conjunction with any of the above should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
