Answer:
1 Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you have slurred speech and other serious symptoms, such as numbness or weakness on one side of your body; a change in level of consciousness or alertness, such as passing out or unresponsiveness; or the worst headache of your life, as these can be signs of stroke.
2 You're considered to be running a fever if an oral, rectal, ear, or temporal artery (forehead) thermometer registers 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. If you use an axillary (armpit) thermometer, the temperature reading will be around 1°F or 1°C lower, so anything over 99.4°F (37°C) would constitute a fever.
