What temp is considered a fever?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

{| |+ 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. |}

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.
