Is 99.5 Fahrenheit considered a fever?

Answer 1

The average temperature for adults is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit; however, this is only an average. Some adults will have temperatures a little higher or lower than this average. Generally a temperature of 99.5 indicates a fever and could mean an infection somewhere in the body. The best solution would be to make an appointment with your general physician right away and have a checkup.

Answer 2

The medical industry establishes this temperature taken orally as a fever, so yes. Children have the same normal body temp as do adults (98.6 F).

Anything more than 103 degrees is a medical emergency.

Answer 3

Yes. Anything above the normal body temperature of 98.6 is considered a fever, but 99.5 isn't too serious. Anything above 100 is a concern, and once you get around 103 degrees and up, it's an emergency and you should see a doctor.

Answer 4

The previous answer was as incorrect as it gets. At that temperature you do NOT have a fever. Anything over 100 degrees F is a fever while anything over around 103 is considered high.
