Fever

Burning Questions About Fever? We’ve Got the Answers, and the Relief

A fever is your body’s way of raising the alarm, but that doesn’t mean it’s always an emergency. Sometimes it’s a sign of a minor bug; other times it’s your immune system working overtime. Either way, if your body’s temperature is spiking, OBUR Health is ready to respond quickly, accurately, and without the wait.
With virtual fever consultations, in-home visits, and clinic appointments, we bring fever care to you in the most convenient way possible.

The Truth Behind the Temperature

A fever is defined as a body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. It’s not the illness itself; it’s a response. But understanding why it’s happening is key.

Common contributors include:

  • Viral infections (like the flu, COVID-19, or RSV)
  • Bacterial infections (strep throat, UTI, sinusitis)
  • Inflammatory responses or autoimmune conditions
  • Post-vaccine reactions
  • Dehydration or heat exhaustion
The severity and duration of your fever can help guide your treatment plan, and that’s exactly what we’re here to assess.

Not All Fevers Are Created Equal: When to Worry
