No, but it's only 0.2 F. degrees away from what would be considered a high fever. Oral temps between 99.5 F. and 100.0 F. are MILD fevers, and 100.1 F. to 100.9 F. are MODERATE fevers. 101.0 F.and over is a high fever, and 104.0 F. or more needs immediate medical attention. However, you can still have a fever at as low as 99.0 F. taken orally (this is called a "low grade fever").

Temperatures are taken most commonly in the mouth (orally), in the bottom (rectally), under the arm (axillary) or in the ear (tympanic). Each method is considered accurate when done correctly. Except for ear thermometers, most digital thermometers are universal, meaning you can take oral, rectal or underarm measurements. Check with your pediatrician regarding the method which is best for your child. Please note: For infants under the age of 3 months, temperatures should be taken rectally.

Is 98.1 normal for a body temperature?

it is close enough, it is actually 98.6 .

In my young day it was quoted as 98.4 Fahrenheit. Actually each individual person will vary slightly.

Usually 98.6, you have a mild fever when your body temp is 99.6-100.9 degrees.

And a little slight fever if your body temp is 99.0 - 99.5 after 6pm, or before 2pm.

Your lowest body temperature of the day occurs around sunrise, and your highest occurs at around 3pm.

To find out your normal temp, take your temp when you are feeling well at 6am and 3pm. Add the two temps together and divide the sum by two. For example your body temp could be 98.0 at 6am, and 99.4 at 3pm, normal for that example would be 98.7.

Also your body temp is usually warmer in the summer months, than in the winter months.

What happens if the body temperature rises too far above 37c?

Normal body temperature is 98.6F or 37C, so 40C would equal 104F. Any body temperature over 40C/104F requires immediate medical attention. Body temperature raises to try to kill off the infection/virus, but can "cook" your organs in the meantime.

How can you lower your core body temperature?

To reduce high body temperature as in a fever, you can use aspirin or tylenol or any similar medication that can do so.

You should remove excess clothing, and apply cool or room temperature water compress to the forehead to cool off. It need not be cold water as evaporation from the compress will do the job. In extreme emergency cases, dunking the whole body in water will lower temperature.

Is a body temperature of 101.5 too high for an infant?

By definition, any temperature over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celcius) is a fever.

The significance of a fever is highly variable, however. The height of the fever is very rarely significant, unless it is above 105 to 106 degrees.

Viral illnesses are the most common causes of fever, but there are many causes, depending on the person, their age, and their other medical problems.

Yes, it's definitely very high. If you have this during the day, stop eating those fatty/sugary/salty foods and eat vegetables. Garlic is great, too. Substitute beans for meat.

Your temperature may be caused by high blood pressure or high cholestrol.
