39.4 is not a slight fever it's close to calling an ambulance levels how is he even looking so happy and active, the body basically shuts down at that temperature. Maybe the author had a high fever when writing this... Oh and the doc just instamagically diagnoses a basic bitch cold

103 F is nasty. If it was during office hours I'd go to my GP and if not to an Urgent Care but not to a hospital.

At 105 F you're either in a cold bath or covered with cold packs.

This says cool compresses and seek medical attention at 39.1 C (102.3 F) which is lower than I thought. (It is from after50health.com. That would apply to me though.)

(I tried putting the chart here and I could see it while editing but not when in read mode.)

This. This is the ultimate fantasy.

If this manga were from Hamita then this chapter would be a fever dream while he was dying.

I mean receiving care is a good thing, it often helps to relax the recipient and of course happiness hormones are good for Recovery too.

But yeah otherwise this is a overreaction, probably giving the author a chance to let them fuss over the MC.
Getting some fever suppression when you're near 40°C isn't that wrong though, since you do want the fever to fight the infection, but it should not cross that magic line or you're the one that gets destroyed.

It seems that in Manga/Anime they get fever suppression medicine, no matter how strong the fever is. I don't know how true that is to their real culture.

Also calling a difference between the flu and a cold during the early stage is often times impossible, unless you would run intensive tests. so I doubt that the doctor had any opinions on that since the illness just started.

Alright, real world rant over.

lol with taking care I was more focused on the entire: "classmates comming over to take care of the sick one" thing. Like yeah supressions, medicine and wet towels are always things that help with a fever and I use them frequently when I am sick as well, but like I never heard of a classmate coming over to take care of the sick guy. Although in this one they are at least together already so it makes more sense.

39 is not a slight fever.
38 is slight.
Anything past 39 is serious.
40 is deeply preoccupying as in get the hospital on speed dial.
41 you should be hospitalised.
42 you'd better hope somebody calls the nurse to get an ice bath ready for you, cause you sure as hell aren't going to be conscious enough to press any buttons.

I asked ChatGPT about that. It generally agrees. 39.4 C is 103 F (102.92).

at what temperature is an adult considered to have a fever

Spoiler: response

In adults, a fever is typically defined as a body temperature of:

🌡️ 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher​

— when measured orally.


Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Temperature (°F)	Classification
97.0 – 99.0°F	Normal range
99.1 – 100.3°F	Elevated / Low-grade fever
100.4°F+	Fever
103°F+	High fever
104°F+	Very high / dangerous

Note:​

• Low-grade fevers (around 99.5–100.3°F) are often signs of mild infection, inflammation, or even a response to vaccination or stress.
• High fevers (103°F or more) usually warrant medical attention, especially if accompanied by other symptoms.

Let me know how you're feeling or what symptoms you're tracking—context matters in deciding whether a temperature is concerning.

how dangerous is a 42 c fever

Spoiler: response - you'll die or be brain damaged soon, denaturing proteins and such

A 42°C fever (107.6°F) is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.

🚨 Here’s why:​

• Normal body temperature: ~36.5–37.5°C (97.7–99.5°F)
• Fever threshold: 38°C (100.4°F)
• Hyperpyrexia (very high fever): 41.1°C (106°F) and above
• 42°C crosses into critical, often fatal territory

---

⚠️ Risks at 42°C:​

• Brain damage: Proteins in the brain and body begin to denature at this temperature.
• Organ failure: Kidneys, liver, and heart can begin to fail due to overheating.
• Seizures: Common at very high fevers, especially in children.
• Death: Prolonged temperatures this high can be fatal without immediate medical intervention.

---

🏥 What to do:​

This is a medical emergency. If a person has a fever this high, they need emergency cooling measures (e.g., cold packs, cooling blankets, IV fluids) and hospital care.

Summary:​

42°C = life-threatening. Immediate emergency treatment is critical.
