Question 1

what temperature is a low grade fever considered?

Accepted Answer

100.2 degrees orless: 38 degrees celcius or 100.4 degrees f is considered the temperature above low grade.

Question 2

if my normal temperature is 97.5 is 98.9 a low grade fever?

Accepted Answer

No: Your body has a diurnal rhythm. Body temperature varies during the day being lowest n the morning and highest in the late afternoon and evening when a normal temperature can be as high as 99.6 degrees. A woman's body temperature increases by 0.9 degrees fahrenheit at the time of ovulation.

Question 3

my temperature is 97.6-98.3 in the morning but spikes to 99.0-99.4 around 4pm-6pm but goes back to 98.6 around 8pm. is this normal or low grade fever?

Accepted Answer

Perfectly normal: Your question could be used to teach medical students about normal body temperature. 98.6 is not the only normal temperature, just the average. Everybody's temperature varies like yours, typically lower in the morning and 1-2 degrees higher later in the day. A range of 97 to about 99.5 is just fine. You don't have a fever.

Question 4

does having axillary temperature of 37c count as low grade fever?

Accepted Answer

Normal: 37 C is a normal body temperature.

Question 5

if my normal body temperature is 97 f, is 99 f considered a low grade fever?

Accepted Answer

No.: Your body temperature changes depending on menstruation cycle and time of day/night by 1-2 degrees. Personally, I don't consider a fever anything lower than 100.4.

Question 6

is 37.1 celsius body temperature at night considered a low grade fever or is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Subjective fever: Everybody is a little bit different -and it would be important to know the temperatures you used to have before this question came up. I think that 'no' this isn't a fever, but I don't know your basal metabolic rate. There is a natural rhythm of the body- temps go up and down, and usually at night the body is cooler than during the day. If you FEEL hot, then it's possible u have a low grade fever.

Question 7

for past few months, in the morning, my oral temp is 97.9f but spikes to 99.5-99.8f in the late afternoon.  i swear a bit and feel clammy.  is this considered a low grade fever or normal temperature fluctuation?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The expected variation in body is influenced by activities.It is usually at it's lowest during deep sleep and goes up with activities of daily living to peak in the afternoon.

Question 8

hi dr one more question when is low grade fever consider, at night time my temperature 97.9 to 98.3 daytime its 97 to 97.5 does stress makes your temperature higher because sometimes my body feels hot on and off is it normal? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: The normal basal body temperature fluctuates during the day, often its lowest in deep sleep around 4 AM for many and highest mid- afternoon around 4 PM. The numbers you cite are well within the normal range and not considered fever. The body's metabolism drives basal temperature, and higher metabolic or physical activity will increase it.

Question 9

my sister says that she feels warm, but her body temperature is 97.3  degrees. could this be a low grade fever or is she okay?

Accepted Answer

She is ok.: People can experience warms and cold sometimes.

Question 10

is a 99.7 ear temperature considered a low grade fever? has been like this for a week or so now. normal?

Accepted Answer

High normal: 98.6F is not the top normal temperature; it's the average over a few days, or during the day. Almost everyone's temperature varies by 1-2 degrees, usually lowest in the morning and highest late afternoon or evening. 99.7 is on the high side of normal, but probably all is normal, expecially if usually measured in the afternoon or evening.
