Fever of 102 in 89 year old?

[harbinger]

Treat at home?

How to treat ?

Phone OOH for advice.

Any other symptoms? Significant past medical history? Paracetamol and if you're concerned OOH.

Any other symptom?

Eg breathing issues / confusion?

Try paracetamol whilst you call NHS and offer lots of fluids

Not sure, DM trying to cope atm. Very sensible people but...................

old

Probably a bladder or chest infection, either can get nasty quite quickly so would see a doc.

Dealing with this sort of thing a lot with my 93 year old Gran at the moment. :(

Hope he or she makes a speedy recovery.

Likely UTI, any symptoms? I'd get it checked out, UTIs can escalate quickly in the elderly and lead to confusion.

Mum says a snuffle... so 102 = snuffle in oldies?

How can I help?

Hadn't thought about UTI.
If snuffle is pollen?
