Is a 99 body temperature bad? sick?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal: 99 is still actually in normal range. If you are feeling ill we would say it's a low-grade fever

Temp: The basal body temperature of a given human varies through a 24 hour cycle. 99 can be perfectly normal for a particular person at a particular time. In medical training its important to treat the individual and not a singular number.
