I see 40C way too frequently when taking my son't temperature. He spikes so fast, it's ridiculous. Thank god it generally doesn't stay like that long, though sometimes I had to alternate acetaminophen and ibuprofen every two hours with baths to try and bring him down from more than that. I think he only hallucinated once or it was a fever dream only, hard to say (but he must have been higher, then).

they don't even pull the kids out of school before 38,5C. Heck, if the kid is below that I tell him to buck up and go to school, if he eats or isn't totally apathetic. I consider 102 a 'mild' fever myself. You don't feel so good, sure. Hallucinating? no.

The only time I saw things was with a bad pneumonia, though it was more a fever dream, I got shaken awake and still was a bit in there... tried to explain and I knew I wasn't making sense. I have no idea how much the fever was at that time. bleh. pneumonia. they are a bitch.
