QI have a fever during chemotherapy. Can I take fever medicine and wait for my Korean appointment?+

Applies to Aurora · Screening & medical care

Fever during chemotherapy can signal serious infection and should not wait. At 38°C or above, or your treatment team's specified threshold, contact the team immediately and obtain prompt medical assessment. If you cannot reach them, or have chills, severe weakness, breathing difficulty, or altered consciousness, use emergency care. A fever dropping after medicine is not a reason to postpone assessment; feeling very unwell below 38°C also needs attention.
