By definition, a fever is any temperature over 38 degrees Celsius, or 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The significance how high a temperature rises is debatable, unless it rises above 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
The most common causes of fevers are viral illnesses, but many other problems can cause an elevated temperature, including bacterial and fungal infections, exposure to hot environments, vigorous exercise, etc.

∙ 13y agoAn approximately normal human body temperature in Celsius is 36.6 degrees, so anything upwards of that could be considered a fever. It varies from person to person though; some people's average body temperature can be above or below this in general and it can still be considered a 'normal' temperature.
