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)
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.
