Anything above 108 is probably due for some concern. If your friend has a fever or other symptoms, like a rash, or sensitive to light, or fitting, or whatever. If your friend has a temperature, get them to go to the doctors. It's pretty obvious if they have because you feel really poorly.

depends on the age of your friend while young children can run higher temps and not require medical attention but rather medical intervention at home. young adults who run temps 104-105 and above that is not relieved by ibuprofen or Tylenol, tepid shower/bath, need to seek medical attention as it most likely is a bacterial vs viral infection and need to find the source of infection and treatment with antibiotics

At least over 103.
Try to get your friends temperature down by apple cider vinegar compresses on forehead.
Motrin knocks temps down fast.

Between 38 - 40 you need to think about speaking to someone for some advice, anything over 40 you really need to speak to someone. It also depends on the other symptoms as well as to how urgently medical attention is needed.
