Is it normal for my dad to shiver and have a high fever after a CECT scan? His temperature is around 102 degrees Celsius, and we've given him an antiallergic medicine and paracetamol, but it hasn't lowered. Could this be a dangerous reaction, or will he feel better soon? I'm worried because he's diabetic and has high blood pressure with a reading of 156100. Should I take him to the hospital, or wait it out?
