At what temperature is he supposed to go to the hospital?
^Jupe
At days 7+ if you are not on the improvement road you need to be checked out. It’s not necessarily degree of fever. No NSAIDs
Tell all your friends and family
Decompensation especially in younger individuals is typically happening after this point. People walking into ER after they have had fevers for 7 days with oxygen saturations in 60-70s and coding soon after. You DONT need a cough
Day 7+ if you are still feeling like shit go get formally checked out. If you truly don’t want to get checked out the Best device to have at home to gauge your status is a pulse oximeter, that I think you can get from Walgreens. The day your symptoms start , count to day 7. Fevers, chills , myalgia, distortion in taste/smelling, cough , shortness of breath, diarrhea are all relatively common symptoms. Don’t be a statistic.
Of course if you feel you are really struggling before day 7 then get checked out, but definitely by day 7 if still having fevers then go
The People that go downhill deteriorate violently fast (hours). Our hospital has policy where patients at this time point regardless of admission criteria will be closely monitored for 24-48 hours. I wonder as bed availability because more scarce (not there yet) if this policy will change
