The body temperature that represents a fever varies according to the method of measuring it. As a rule of thumb:
Rectal - at or over 38.0°C (100.4°F)
Oral - at or over 37.5 °C (99.5 °F)
Axillary (underarm) - at or over 37.2 °C (99.0 °F)
{| |+ Fever classification |- ! ! ! | low 100.4-102.2 moderate 102.2-104.0 high-grade 104.0-106.0 hyperpyrexia 106.0 This is the fever classification system. So over 100 is considered a fever. |}
Anything above 98.6 F is above the temperature considered normal; however, people vary in their normal body temperatures, and temperature varies among individuals over the course of the day. As a result, 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit is a common cutoff for a fever.
Well, your normal temperature is 98.6 degrees F, so anything above that would be considered a fever. Although, you should not be worried if your temperature is 99 degrees F. That is so mild you don't have to be worried at all.
100.4
yes it is, any temp. above 98F is considered a fever.
A low grade temp is considered 99.1 and goes up from there.
No, that is not a fever.
Yes, you would have a fever if you have a temp of 100 F.
it can depend on your average temp, if you hav a very low average temp then yes this can be considered a fever, if not then you may just have a slightly high temp that may be cured by panadol something.
39.4C indicates a FEVER of 102.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes the average temp is 98 but if it's higher then the kid has a fever!
No, 99 is not considered a fever, usually a temp of greater than 100.5 is a fever. A slight raise in body temp is natures way of killing the bad germs (pathogens).
No. 98.6 is normal. Most people run between 97.8 and 99. Temp. is not considered a fever until 101.
True fever is considered >100.3F. Axillary temps. are not very sensitive and should only be used as a starting point. If temp. seems high axillary most physicians will recommend that the temp. be rechecked rectally (if infant) or orally or tympanic if child/adult.
anything above the average temperature can be considered a fever the average temp. is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. but it may vary from person to person, about .5 degrees
It can be considered a very low grade temp depending on whats a normal body temperature for you.
