Is body temperature 98.8 high

Answer 1

No. the normal body temperature is 98.6 F or 37.0 celcius. variation from that w/in 1 degree is considered normal. if a person is symptomatic with an illness or medical condition the rules change. (if one is suffering from hypothermia there temp is watched more closely and they will want as get as high as possible to 98.6 F. if one has a cold and they're temp is 99.9, this may be considered a low grade fever. however if that same person's usual body temp runs 99.2, then 99.9 would not be considered a fever.) 98.7 F is never considered a fever.

Answer 2

No, 98.8 would not be considered a temperature. The time honored "normal" oral temperature of 98.6 F represented the average for healthy people, and that number has been revised downward to 98.2. Some perfectly healthy people never break 98.0. In addition, your normal body temperature can vary, depending in part on the time of day: It's consistently lowest in the morning and highest in the late afternoon or evening. That daily variation can range anywhere from about 0.7 to 2.6 F.
