Is 102.2 a high fever

Answer 1

No. 99.2 IS a fever; however it is only considered a very Low Grade fever. Considering that a ' normal ' reading in body temperature is 98.6 , a reading of 99.2 would be considered quite low & not a cause for alarm.

Answer 2

Above 99.5 degrees (taken orally) is considered a fever. Some people believe that you could have one at as low as 99.0.

It also depends on your age and your normal temperature. 99.6 might not be a fever for a child, but it could be for an older adult. Best: Consult a Doctor.

Pneumonia (can cause temp to go as high as 105-106, also more common in adults, especially people age 55+ than in children.)

Tonsilitis (causes a high fever above 102 and a swollen throat, fever usually does not dissipate until surgery is completed)

Fungus Infections
