Emergency Physician Questions High fever

Should I visit emergency room for my high fever?

I have had a fever already for almost 5 days. OTC medications aren't helping me or making it go down. Alongside this fever, I'm dealing with nausea and stomach pain. Should I visit the emergency room?

Absolutely
Any time you have a high fever more than a day or two, you should be seen by a physician.
If you cannot see an MD in their office or an Urgent care center, yes you should go to the ER
