How Does Your Fever Feel?
Understanding how your fever behaves helps our emergency team determine its cause and severity. When you visit our ER for high fever, we’ll ask questions to identify possible sources of infection or inflammation.
Is your fever constant or intermittent?
Continuous fever may indicate bacterial infection, while fluctuating temperatures could suggest viral illness.
How high is your temperature?
Fevers over 103°F often require urgent medical attention, especially if accompanied by other symptoms.
Are you experiencing chills, sweating, or body aches?
These can point to infections such as influenza, COVID-19, or pneumonia.
Do you have additional symptoms like rash, cough, vomiting, or confusion?
These warning signs help our doctors determine whether your high fever treatment should address viral, bacterial, or inflammatory causes.
Our Pasadena high fever emergency room is fully equipped with laboratory testing and imaging to find the cause quickly and begin immediate care.

What Could Your High Fever Mean?
High fever can result from many medical conditions—some mild, others requiring urgent intervention. Our skilled team offers precise diagnosis and timely high fever treatment for all possible causes, including:
Viral Infections
Common culprits include influenza, COVID-19, and mononucleosis. These can cause fever, fatigue, and body aches that may persist for several days.
Bacterial Infections
Strep throat, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, or ear infections often trigger high, persistent fevers needing antibiotic treatment.
Heat-Related Illness
Overheating or dehydration can elevate body temperature dangerously, requiring prompt cooling and IV hydration.
Inflammatory Conditions
Autoimmune or inflammatory diseases can produce fever as part of the body’s immune response.
Serious Emergencies
Meningitis, sepsis, or bloodstream infections can cause life-threatening fevers needing rapid intervention in an ER for high fever.
Medication Reactions
Certain drugs may trigger fever as a side effect, which our team can assess and manage safely.
Childhood Fevers
Young children are more susceptible to sudden temperature spikes, and our pediatric-trained staff provides gentle, immediate care for their comfort and safety.
ER vs. Urgent Care: The Right Choice for High Fever
It can be difficult to know when a fever needs emergency care. While urgent care may handle mild fevers, anything high or accompanied by serious symptoms should be treated in an ER for high fever like Neighbors Emergency Center Pasadena.
In our high fever emergency room, we provide on-site lab work, rapid strep and flu testing, chest X-rays, and other diagnostics to quickly uncover the cause. Our physicians are trained to recognize early signs of sepsis and other critical conditions that require immediate high fever treatment.
Unlike urgent care, our ER operates 24/7 with no waiting for transfers or outside referrals. When your fever spikes suddenly or worsens overnight, our team ensures that you get expert medical attention without delay.
