When does a fever need to be seen by a health care professional?

I know that fevers in babies differ to fevers in adults.

When does a fever in a baby, child and adult reach a level where a doctor needs to be called, and when is a fever reducer enough?

Is there an actual number, in terms of degrees, when a trip to the ER or doctor's office is warranted?
