Question 1

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

Question 2

throwing up and a low grade temperature, pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Vomiting: You could be pregnant. Purchase a pregnancy test to gind out if your pregnant.

Question 3

after gallbladder surgery do you run a low grade temperature and is your poop green?

Accepted Answer

Green poop's normal: After the gallbladder is removed, there is no place to hold the bile that is still being produced in your liver. So, it passes directly through your intestines and leaves with the waste. It's green. So, the part is normal. But the fever should be mentioned to your surgeon/provider. At that time ask all the ?s you have about recovery and expectations. Call them ASAP, there can be complications.

Question 4

my daughter has a low grade temperature (100.3), and she has 3 doses left of augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) that was prescribed. how can she have a temperature?

Accepted Answer

Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate): Is an antibiotic, not an antipyretic, she most probably has a viral illness, not taking enough or needs another medicine, we don't have any more information, kindly take her back to her doctor

Question 5

is it harmful for five year old to have a low grade temperature for more than two weeks? treatment is with tylenol (acetaminophen).  has not seen doctor.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor soon...: Fever that lasts longer than five days' time, even if low grade, definitely should be investigated.  Even though the kids are usually fine, this can be a sign of a serious illness.  See you doctor asap.  Good luck!

Question 6

i am 10 dpo. have sore breasts, fatigue, and running a low grade temperature. i have taken multiple hpts and all say negative. could i still be preg.?

Accepted Answer

Possible: 10 days PO is early and I have seen 'false negatives' on that day. Day 11-12 is more accurate. Sorry, your symptoms don't make it more or less likely. Good luck!

Question 7

i had tonsillectomy over 1 month ago. recently i started feeling body aches & very sore throat with a low grade temperature. could this be strep?

Accepted Answer

Maybe strep,flu,etc.: Nose and throat symptoms can be from cold viruses, strep throat, allergies, etc... It can be difficult to tell what the cause is. If symptoms only last 1-2 days, it was likely allergies, irritation, or a mild cold. Doctors have rapid 5-minute tests for strep, so a primary care doctor can diagnose strep and start antibiotics "right away", which means within the first 3 days of strep symptoms.

Question 8

for the past two days, i have had burning stomach pain and loose to watery stools.i get a low grade temperature at night. there is no intestinal cramping. could it be an ulcer, ibs or virus?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It's not really possible to make a diagnosis without an exam, as with most abdominal symptoms, it's best to be seen by a doctor if they last more than a few days.  Could be a virus or food poisoning, if so it should resolve quickly.

Question 9

if my normal body temperature is 97 f ,would 99 f be considered a low grade temporature ?

Accepted Answer

Fever: 100.4 F is considered a fever for everyone.  We all have a slight variation from 98.6 F which is a statistically derived normal temperature.  By convention 100.4 F is deemed an abnormal temperature or a fever.  We do not adjust that definition for individuals.

Question 10

can stress cause low grade temperature that fluctuates for about a week and a half. cbc was normal?

Accepted Answer

No : You may be fighting off a virus. Blood work can certainly be normal. Go back to your doctor if it persists. Take it easy and get enough rest to recover well.
